Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within each intake, so you can combine the programme with your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Vector CANoe, Wireshark, Ghidra, ChipWhisperer and Metasploit, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Testing is studied through real procedures: a TARA of a connected motorcycle, a penetration test on a test ECU in a laboratory environment, and the design of a secure remote update process. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: ISO/SAE 21434, UN ECE Regulation No. 155, UN ECE Regulation No. 156, ISO 24089, ISO/IEC 27001, Regulation (EU) 2024/2847, AUTOSAR SecOC, ISO 14229-1.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of ISO/SAE 21434, UN ECE Regulation No. 155 and UN ECE Regulation No. 156 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:Vector CANoe, Wireshark, Ghidra, ChipWhisperer and Metasploit, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Master's Thesis with defence:The cybersecurity concept for a connected motorcycle, defended before a panel.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
