About this event
Cybersecurity support does not end when a vehicle ships. One of the hardest and most consequential parts of ISO 21434 is understanding what happens at the far end of the lifecycle: when support winds down, risks change, and decommissioning becomes a real engineering and governance problem. This virtual meetup focuses on that transition point, with a practical look at how teams can think clearly about end-of-support decisions without losing sight of safety, compliance, and real-world operational constraints. About the Event This session is a community-focused online meetup centered on ISO 21434: end of cybersecurity support and decommissioning. Rather than treating decommissioning as a footnote, the event puts it where it belongs: as a core part of lifecycle cybersecurity planning. The conv
Who should attend
If you work on cybersecurity, product lifecycle decisions, or technical governance and want a clearer view of what happens when support ends, this will likely feel directly relevant. - You are an **automotive cybersecurity engineer or practitioner** looking to better understand how ISO 21434 applies at the end of a product’s supported life. - You work in **product security, systems engineering, software maintenance, or architecture** and need to think beyond launch into long-term support and retirement planning. - You are responsible for **risk, compliance, or governance** and want stronger language and clearer frameworks for discussing end-of-support responsibilities. - You help manage **operational handoffs, lifecycle policies, or decommissioning processes** and need to connect policy decisions with technical reality. - You are part of a **cross-functional team** where security, engineering, and business decisions intersect, and you want to understand the tradeoffs before they become urgent. - You enjoy **community-driven technical meetups** where the value comes from focused discussion, practical interpretation, and hearing how peers approach the same challenge. You do not need to arrive with every answer. If you have real questions about unsupported systems, lifecycle obligations, or decommissioning under ISO 21434, you are in the right place.
