Background: Car functionality depends to more than 80% on software. New ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and highly autonomous vehicles are based on a network of electronics, software and car to x communication. The use of software and networks in the car opens the door for cyber attacks. First cybersecurity attacks already took place and all new car models require to follow automotive cybersecurity norms, such as ISO 21434:2020 and SAE J3061.Cybersecurity is an upcoming new skills required by Automotive recently to address the new upcoming norms and threats to automotive manufacturers.Partners in this project are experienced in the Automotive domain and work together in various strategic projects and initiatives. Some are members of the EU Blueprint project DRIVES (VSB-TU Ostrava, TU Graz, ISCN) which analyses the key job roles to support the future developments in Automotive industry and which identified the need for cybersecurity engineers and managers. AIT is representative of the new ISO 21434 norm for Road Vehicles -- Cybersecurity engineering. Some (ISCN, Elektrobit, TU Graz) are members of a working party of large automotive suppliers and experts to elaborate best practices for cybersecurity. And Real Security is a leading IT security provider in the south East Europe region.Objectives: This project aims to develop • A skill set ECQA Certified Cybersecurity Engineer and Manager – Automotive Sector • A set of training materials • A Europe wide certificate for cybersecurity engineers and cybersecurity managers in cooperation with ECQA and based on ECTS and ECVET schemas • 100 pilot trained trainees• 10 trainers trained• Collaboration on and knowledge exchange of the Cyber Security topic between the Universities and CompaniesProject Results: IO1: Study about the requirements for an ECQA Certified Cybersecurity Engineer and Manager – Automotive Sector IO2: Skills set for an ECQA Certified Cybersecurity Engineer and Manager – Automotive Sector based on ECQA skills definition standards IO3: Training Material for the ECQA Certified Cybersecurity Engineer and Manager – Automotive Sector skill set IO4: Online Training Campus IO5: Certification Framework and Exams (based on ECQA guides)
