LG Uplus has become the first telecommunications company in South Korea to receive Level 3 certification under the international automotive cybersecurity standard.

LGU+ (CEO Hong Beom-sik) announced on the 10th that it had obtained Level 3 (ML3) certification for its cybersecurity management system (CSMS), based on the international automotive cybersecurity standard “ISO/SAE 21434.”

The certification is conferred by the global testing and certification organization TUV Rheinland, which evaluates whether the cybersecurity management system for vehicle software development and operations complies with international standards. The certification is valid for three years.

As software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and connected cars continue to spread, cybersecurity capabilities in vehicle software are emerging as a key competitive advantage.

ISO/SAE 21434 is an international standard for managing cybersecurity risks throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle. ML3 goes beyond the establishment of a security management system, evaluating whether it is consistently applied to actual vehicle software projects.

LGU+ established an ML2-level management system last year. It then advanced the security system for vehicle infotainment (IVI) software, applied it to IVI development projects for global automakers, and obtained ML3 certification.

The company is currently pursuing IVI software development and operations for Toyota, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, and others. LGU+ explained that, with this certification and an international-level security management system complementing its telecommunications and media capabilities, it expects to be able to meet the security standards of global automakers.
