What
"Dynamic Vehicle Cybersecurity Testing Use Cases.”

Description
As vehicles continue to evolve into software-driven, highly connected platforms, cybersecurity has become a direct safety imperative that must be validated under conditions reflecting real-world operation. Traditional laboratory environments cannot fully capture how ECUs, ADAS systems, sensors, and V2X components behave when a vehicle is accelerating, braking, exposed to environmental variation, or processing complex multi-sensor inputs. Dynamic cybersecurity testing, which may include penetration testing during motion, state-dependent fuzzing, sensor and signal spoofing, and the evaluation of V2X attack scenarios, reveals vulnerabilities that only appear when vehicles operate in authentic driving contexts. Proving-ground ecosystems combined with a robust cybersecurity platform provide the controlled, yet realistic environment required to perform these evaluations safely and repeatedly, making dynamic testing essential for ensuring resilience, functional safety, and trust in modern mobility systems.
