Mr. Jin Pyo Noh, representative of TUV Rheinland, shared, “At TÜV Rheinland, we emphasize precision in both assessment and implementation. Through our collaboration with LTS Group, we combine that precision with strong local engineering capabilities to support customers in addressing safety and cybersecurity challenges in a structured and sustainable way.
In today’s increasingly complex automotive systems, achieving Functional Safety and Cybersecurity requires integrating safety and security into system design from the outset.
