Welcome to the CYRES Academy On-Demand video courseThreat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) (G4_3)”. In this video learning course, we provide a first introduction to the Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment method (TARA), which is one of the most important parts of the ISO/SAE 21434 Road Vehicles - Cybersecurity Engineering. TARA is an important method for decision-making when it comes to addressing cybersecurity in automotive development. Accordingly, a correct understanding of TARA is a useful starting point for the challenges you will face in your daily work as well as when dealing with projects.


Please note: This video is based on content from ISO/SAE 21434:2021 Road Vehicles - Cybersecurity Engineering.


This video contains five topics:

I. Intro to Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment
In the intro you will get to know what you will learn in this video course which will lead you to a better understanding of what TARA exactly is and why is it important to know about it.

II. TARA in cybersecurity development

In this part of the course you will learn what exactly is meant by Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment. You will learn when it is performed after the Item definition and what outcomes are intended to be achieved.

III. TARA outcomes definition and differences

In this part, we look at the two most important outcomes from TARA, Cybersecurity goals and Cybersecurity Claims, and define both with examples.


IV. Relationship to functional safety

What about the connection to Functional Safety? In this part of the learning course, we compare Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) from the Functional Safety domain to TARA from the Cybersecurity domain. Learn more about differences and similarities here.


V. Sum Up

Finally, here we will sum up what you have learned about Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment.
