The aim of this short course is to introduce commonly used data bus systems, cybersecurity, and potential threats. It is expected that the course will foster and develop students’ knowledge of data sharing and interactions between numerous subsystems in a modern vehicle. Hardware-based analysis and real-time cyber threats and attack scenarios will be demonstrated using real vehicle systems.
This course is designed with a focus on hands-on experience. Alongside the lectures, there will be multiple laboratory sessions and demos, to implement the theoretical understanding of various concepts. After completing the course, delegates will be awarded with the certificates.
