Post Graduate Diploma programme in Automotive Cybersecurity
The long lifespan of an automobile exposing itself to hackers, the consequences of a cybersecurity breach, the complexity of the cyber-physical systems and the real-time response requirements do limit the adoption of traditional cybersecurity methods in the context of automotive industry. Rather, it requires unique knowledge and skills to address the challenges of automotive cybersecurity, which is what this programme aims to offer. This programme has been designed to develop an overall understanding of the aspects of cyber security systems covering threat modelling, risk assessment, security controls, forensics, compliance, audits, and vehicle and system security.
