Explore the basics of automotive SPICE (ASPICE) for cybersecurity, the reference model, defined processes, and capability levels. Learn Spice document, process description template, process attribute template, and Ace Spice assessment.
Explore the structure of the ASPICE process description template, including the process reference model, process id, purpose, outcomes, base practices, and output information items mapping to process outcomes.
Explore the ISO 21434 structure from organizational to life-cycle cybersecurity management. Navigate chapters five to fifteen, including project-dependent, distributed, and continuous cybersecurity activities, risk assessment, validation, and product life-cycle considerations.
Understand how ASPICE problem resolution management identifies, records, analyzes, and tracks problems, prioritizes them by severity and urgency, and coordinates short- and long-term solutions with stakeholder alerts.
IMPORTANT HINT: Only Process Groups and Processes related to Cybersecurity are covered in the course!
The course gives an overview of Automotive SPICE® (ASPICE) for Cybersecurity.
The contents of the course are divided into three main chapters:
Basics of Automotive SPICE® (ASPICE)
Process Reference Model and related Process Groups
Capability Levels of Auotmotive SPICE® (ASPICE)
Chapter 1: Basics of Automotive SPICE® (ASPICE)
In this chapter you learn more about the motivation for the introduction and implementation of Automotive SPICE® (ASPICE). Also the history of Automotive SPICE® is explained, the strcuture of the Process Reference Model, the difference between ISO 21434 and ASPICE for Cybersecurity, the strcuture of the ASPICE for Cybersecurity Document and the Process Description Template.
Chapter 2: Process Reference Model and related Process Groups
