This will help automotive companies to identify and mitigate cyber risks and follow ISO 21434 guidelines quickly and easily.
- Better risk assessment: The combined solution will provide automotive companies with a more comprehensive view of their cyber risks. This will help them to make better decisions about how to mitigate those risks.
