According to Kamil Svancara, Cyber Security Manager at ZF Friedrichshafen AG: “As a systems supplier for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and industrial technology, ZF Friedrichshafen AG places great emphasis on agility and innovation. To support exciting developments like autonomous driving and electric mobility, our R&D process must be fast, cost-effective and technically precise. Since 2014, many ZF projects relied on Ansys medini analyze to conduct functional safety analysis for our automotive electronics systems, growing from two licenses to over 50 today. By providing an easy-to-understand, visual representation of complex electronics and their integration points, Ansys medini analyze has streamlined and accelerated functional safety analysis for hardware, software and systems — delivering possible efficiencies including an up to 50% reduction in the time devoted to these tasks. Based on this success, in 2017 ZF’s advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) project team began to collaborate with Ansys to customize medini analyze for cybersecurity analysis. Just as medini analyze helped many ZF project teams deliver work products required by ISO 26262 for functional safety, it is also helping ZF’s ADAS project team to efficiently deliver work products required by the upcoming cybersecurity standard, ISO 21434. ZF is a strong advocate for model-based engineering, and Ansys medini analyze helps to reduce the complexity of analysis for embedded systems.” |
