A journey towards Cybersecurity Engineering and ASPICE certification

Three years ago, MAHLE implemented the Automotive Process Framework (APF) across the organization as part of a company-wide harmonization program. In this presentation we will reveal how the journey actually unfolded — from initial adoption challenges to major achievements like ISO/SAE 21434 and ASPICE Level 3 certification. We’ll share the lessons learned and practical implementations that supported our goals.
