Better product cybersecurity
at half the cost

Software Driven Cybersecurity Management for product development reduces the cybersecurity development cost by 50% and improves maturity and analytical capabilities.

Cybersecurity Solutions

Our holistic cybersecurity solution for product development covers both the Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS) on the organizational level and the Product Cybersecurity Evidence (PCSE) of the application of the CSMS on each product.

Quma automates the management of both the CSMS on organizational level and the PCSE through the cybersecurity product lifecycle.

Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS)

The objective of the CSMS is enabling the company to develop, produce and operate cybersecure products and product backends. It forms the basis for regulatory and customer audits.

Product Cybersecurity Evidence (PCSE)

The objective of the PCSE is providing traceable evidence of performing cybersecurity as defined in the CSMS regarding the product and backend. It forms the basis for regulatory type approvals or customer approval.

Based on

UNECE R 155

UNECE R 155, adopted in June 2020 by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), sets a new standard for automotive cybersecurity. It mandates that vehicle manufacturers implement a Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS) to protect vehicles from cyber threats throughout their lifecycle.

The regulation requires manufacturers to identify and manage cyber risks continuously, perform regular security assessments, and obtain certification for their CSMS through rigorous audits. This certification must be renewed periodically to ensure ongoing compliance.

UNECE R 155 also mandates active monitoring and response to cybersecurity incidents, ensuring that vulnerabilities are promptly addressed. Applicable to all passenger cars, vans, trucks, buses,  and vehicles for special purposes, such as garbage trucks, camper vans, ambulances, etc, this regulation aims to enhance the overall security of modern vehicles.

UNECE R 155 represents a significant advancement in automotive cybersecurity regulation, prioritizing vehicle security and benefiting consumers and the broader automotive industry.

ISO/SAE 21434

ISO/SAE 21434, introduced in August 2021, is a critical automotive cybersecurity standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). It addresses increasing cybersecurity risks in modern vehicles by integrating cybersecurity throughout the vehicle lifecycle, from design and production to operation and decommissioning.

The standard uses a risk-based approach, requiring organizations to identify, assess, and mitigate cybersecurity threats. It promotes collaboration across the supply chain, recognizing that cybersecurity is a shared responsibility among manufacturers, suppliers, and stakeholders. The standard aligns with other international standards and regulations, ensuring a cohesive approach to managing cybersecurity risks.

By adhering to ISO/SAE 21434, manufacturers can address cybersecurity in a common approach, gaining a competitive edge and building consumer trust. As vehicles become more connected and automated, this standard is essential for ensuring the safety and security of vehicles and users.

IEC 62443.3

IEC 62443 Section 3 focuses on defining the requirements and best practices for securing industrial automation and control systems (IACS) against cyber threats. Developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission, this section emphasizes the creation and implementation of secure policies, processes, and technical measures to safeguard IACS environments.

The standards in Section 3 cover system-level requirements, including secure integration, system design, and patch management. These requirements are tailored to the needs of various stakeholders, such as manufacturers, integrators, and operators, ensuring a holistic approach to cybersecurity.

Section 3 also highlights risk assessments and the identification of security zones and conduits to minimize vulnerabilities and prevent unauthorized access. By prioritizing a defense-in-depth strategy, this section enhances resilience against potential attacks.

IEC 62443 Section 3 is instrumental in advancing cybersecurity in industrial environments, ensuring that critical infrastructure, manufacturing, and process control systems are protected from ever-evolving threats while fostering operational continuity and safety.

IEC 62443.4

IEC 62443 Section 4 outlines best practices for secure product development in industrial automation and control systems (IACS). It focuses on ensuring that products, such as controllers, sensors, and software, are designed, developed, and maintained with cybersecurity as a core priority.

This section defines requirements for secure development lifecycle processes, emphasizing secure coding practices, vulnerability management, and threat modeling. Manufacturers are encouraged to integrate cybersecurity measures throughout the product lifecycle, from initial design to decommissioning.

The guidelines also address the importance of maintaining product integrity through supply chain security, ensuring that third-party components meet strict cybersecurity standards. Regular updates and patches are emphasized to mitigate newly discovered vulnerabilities.

IEC 62443 Section 4 promotes a proactive approach to IACS cybersecurity by fostering collaboration between developers and operators. By embedding security into products from the outset, this section enhances trust, reliability, and resilience within critical industrial systems.
