Juice Technology, a company that makes refill products such as the Juice Booster 2 that we already have; had the opportunity to try, obtained the international ISO/SAE 21434 certification for risk management in product development. This legislation, we recall, dates back to August 2021 and concerns components, spare parts and accessories of series vehicles.

ISO/SAE 21434 covers every stage of a vehicle's life cycle, from development to scrapping and requires that cybersecurity methods be applied to all electronic systems, components, software and all external connections. The directive also extends to the management of information security throughout the supply chain. In addition, it requires certified companies to promote a corporate culture that focuses on cybersecurity and places it at the center of every project right from the start.

SECURITY FIRST

The Juice Technology company, founded and led by Christoph Erni, considers mobility; electric as a global concept and & egrave; therefore of the opinion that charging stations must meet the highest standards of the automotive industry . For this, he worked to obtain the ISO/SAE 21434 & quot; Road vehicles & ndash; Cybersecurity engineering & rdquo ;.

The company & agrave; explains that the increasing interoperability between cars, charging stations, energy management systems and grid operators implies a increasing risk of anomalies , since & eacute; failures could spread to electronic systems through individual subsystems. Prevention is, therefore, the best way; simple to reduce cyber risks. We must therefore work on security.

Regarding the charging infrastructure, this means that the security aspect must be firmly integrated already; in the conception and development phase. This principle of & quot; Security by Design & rdquo;, explains the company, begins when the hardware components are sourced, continues during the software design and embraces the entire communication process. Coding standards, code analysis tools and code reviews contribute to risk reduction. Consolidated practices contribute, therefore, to a pi & ugrave; effective quality assurance.

The measures set out in ISO 21434 provide greater security for product developers, OEMs and their suppliers. Christoph Erni , CEO and founder of Juice Technology, commented:

For us, the adoption of the standard is; the coherent continuation of the 3-level concept for the safety of mobility; electricity that we presented on the occasion of the Juice World Charging Day 2021. Also in this area we are once again a step ahead of our competitors and we continue to place cyber security at the heart of our commitment. Why & eacute; Although this cybersecurity standard is not yet indispensable for car manufacturers' suppliers, sooner or later it will become; a & ldquo; must & rdquo; for the entire sector. Already today we therefore comply with this standard to continue to be a reliable partner for OEMs.
