Two new regulations on Cybersecurity for connected vehicles were adopted by the UNECE’s World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations on 24 June 2020. Entering into force in January 2021, the new regulations address important security aspects of connected vehicles such as “Over-The-Air” (OTA) updates, managing of cyber risks for vehicles and mitigating cyber risks along the value chain.

The ISS has been involved in the process of forming these regulations through its participation in the UNECE GRVA Working Party on Automated/Autonomous and Connected Vehicles.
