Samsung Display's automotive OLED has become the first in the industry to simultaneously pass two major cybersecurity standards: the ISO/SAE 21434 international standard for automotive cybersecurity engineering and the ENX Vehicle Cyber Security audit.

Samsung Display held a certification ceremony Tuesday at its office in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, attended by Executive Vice President Yoo Kyung-jin, head of the small- and medium-sized product development team, and Ingo M. Rübenach, CEO of global certification body DQS.

ISO/SAE 21434 is an international standard for systematically managing cybersecurity risks across the entire lifecycle of a vehicle, from design and development through to disposal.

ENX VCS is a regime established by the European automotive manufacturing and supply association to independently audit and evaluate how well automakers and their suppliers build and operate cybersecurity management systems, based on ISO/SAE 21434.

As cybersecurity regulations for vehicles and digital products have become mandatory, particularly in Europe, Samsung Display has responded by securing dedicated cybersecurity personnel and establishing monitoring processes to analyze and address potential risks.

The company has also focused on strengthening product security by conducting physical teardown inspections of its automotive OLED modules to comprehensively analyze potential hacking vulnerabilities and applying security designs that eliminate those risks.

"We expect that the combination of Samsung Display's technological competitiveness and cybersecurity reliability in the next-generation mobility sector will meet the demands of global automakers and further strengthen its market competitiveness," Rübenach said.

"In the era of software-defined vehicles, cybersecurity is a critical factor underpinning product competitiveness," Yoo said. "We will solidify our display leadership in the mobility market with OLED products that meet the stringent security standards demanded by automakers and consumers."
