Practical Fundamentals of Solutions for improving the IT Security of Test Systems

Daniel Lötzbeyer - ENSYTEC GmbH; Sam Münchow - IKADO GmbH

The requirements for modern automotive testing systems are undergoing fundamental change. Users now expect highly intuitive operation, shaped by experiences with mobile applications, as well as flexible and open interfaces for efficient data transfer across heterogeneous IT landscapes. At the same time, the demands on the integrity and confidentiality of test results are increasing: Tamper-proof test reports and protection against targeted cyberattacks are gaining considerable importance in light of increasing connectivity and growing attack surfaces. Simultaneously, testing systems are increasingly being embedded in complex, company-wide IT infrastructures, which brings additional challenges for IT security, system integration, and compliance. With the EU-wide Cyber Resilience Act, these requirements will become not only best practice but also a legally binding standard. To address these multidimensional challenges, ENSYTEC GmbH and IKADO GmbH are combining their respective core competencies in testing system development and IT security. As experienced providers of customized solutions, we support our customers in precisely adapting testing systems to individual requirements while simultaneously ensuring a high and verifiable level of security throughout the entire lifecycle. This presentation provides practical fundamentals of solutions for improving the IT security of test systems, from user-friendly concepts and secure data flows to tamper-proof test reports, all within the context of current and future regulatory requirements. Conclusion: High IT security is the foundation for trustworthy, tamper-proof test reports and therefore a crucial success factor for modern automotive test systems.
