Program Overview: What is Automotive Standards: ISO 26262 Functional Safety and ISO 21434 Cybersecurity?
Automotive Standards: ISO 26262 Functional Safety & ISO 21434 Cybersecurity is Edstellar's instructor-led technical program for automotive engineers, safety managers, and cybersecurity teams building road vehicles. Participants master hazard analysis and risk assessment, functional safety concept and system design, and software safety with V-model verification. The program covers cybersecurity engineering, validation, and monitoring.
Training is hands-on from the first module. Participants work through guided exercises: HARA and threat analysis, safety concept development, hardware and software safety design, then cybersecurity validation. Instructors coach standards interpretation with direct feedback on every work product. The program closes with an integrated safety and cybersecurity case the team builds and defends.
Compliance programs fail the same way: safety and security run as separate tracks, work products written for the auditor instead of the engineer, and gaps found at assessment. This program teaches integrated discipline, one coherent safety-and-security argument, work products that engineers actually use, and validation that proves the case. Everything is practiced on realistic vehicle systems.
The capstone builds an integrated safety and cybersecurity case: hazard analysis through safety concept to verification evidence, with the cybersecurity thread woven in, assembled as one argument, not two binders. Engineers return with a case structure their assessor can follow, and the judgment to know where the next audit will probe.
Six modules and 24 hours: standards foundations, HARA and TARA, safety concept and hardware design, software verification, cybersecurity validation, and a capstone integrated safety and cybersecurity case. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab, so each technique is practiced with tools your engineers already use.
Delivery is hybrid across live virtual and onsite sessions, scheduled around your calendar. Cohorts train as one group or split into batches, with session materials, lab guides, and assessment checklists included for every participant.

Plan
We establish the standards landscape before hazard and threat analysis, system and hardware concepts, software verification, and cybersecurity response in the integrated case.
- Step 03
Align
We align systems, embedded, and quality perspectives, adapting foundations to participant experience and keeping practical decisions within an example vehicle function and ECU.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor the driver-assistance and ECU cases to representative interfaces, hazards, and threats so safety and cybersecurity work products can be examined together.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants build analysis tables, calculate sample hardware metrics, trace requirements to tests, and triage vulnerabilities with feedback on consistency and supporting evidence.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the integrated case for justified classifications, traceable requirements, coherent verification coverage, and clear links between identified risks, controls, and validation evidence.
