About this event
ISO 21434 is becoming a foundational reference point for anyone working where vehicles, software, and security intersect. If you’ve heard the name but want a clear, practical introduction to what it is, why it matters, and how people are using it, this virtual session is designed to give you that starting point without assuming you already know the standard in depth. About the Event This meetup is a motivation and introduction session focused on ISO 21434, with an emphasis on building shared understanding in a community setting. Rather than treating the topic as a dense compliance exercise, the event is framed to help attendees understand the bigger picture: why automotive cybersecurity needs a standard like this, what problems it is meant to address, and how it fits into modern developmen
Who should attend
This session is a strong fit if you want a clearer, more grounded understanding of ISO 21434 and prefer learning in a community setting rather than trying to decode the topic alone. - You work in **automotive, embedded systems, product security, software, systems engineering, or compliance** and want a practical introduction to a standard that is increasingly relevant. - You’ve **heard ISO 21434 mentioned in meetings, project requirements, or customer conversations** and want enough context to follow the discussion with confidence. - You’re **new to automotive cybersecurity** and want a starting point that explains the motivation behind the standard, not just the name. - You want to **connect with peers who are also exploring the topic**, comparing questions and perspectives in a low-friction virtual format. - You’re evaluating whether you need to **study ISO 21434 more deeply** and want an overview before committing more time to detailed material. - You appreciate events that are **accessible, focused, and discussion-friendly**, especially when the subject can otherwise feel abstract or overly formal.
