KAVACH: Model-Based Cybersecurity Engineering for Secure Automotive Systems

KAVACH - Overview

Modern vehicles are highly sophisticated cyber-physical systems, making cybersecurity an essential aspect of automotive engineering. KAVACH is a Model-Based Cybersecurity Engineering (MBSE) platform that seamlessly integrates threat modeling, risk assessment, and compliance validation into the vehicle development lifecycle. Designed to detect vulnerabilities early, it automates regulatory compliance with ISO 21434, UNECE R155, and NIST cybersecurity frameworks to ensure comprehensive security from design to deployment.

​

Key Benefits

KAVACH empowers automotive manufacturers and security teams to:

• Identify and mitigate cyber threats before deployment.

• Automate compliance with ISO 21434 and UNECE R155 regulatory frameworks.

• Secure ECUs, ADAS, and connected vehicle infrastructure from cyberattacks.

Automotive Cybersecurity Challenges – Why KAVACH is Essential

As vehicles become increasingly software-defined, interconnected ECUs, cloud-based services, and network-driven functionalities expand the attack surface, making cybersecurity a critical priority.

​

Key Challenges in Automotive Cybersecurity

• Rising cyber threats including hacking, ransomware, and remote access attacks.

• Complex regulatory requirements, such as ISO 21434, UNECE R155, and NIST frameworks.

• Limitations of traditional security tools, which primarily focus on post-development testing, leaving vulnerabilities exposed late in the development process.

​

 

How KAVACH Secures Automotive Systems Proactively

Unlike traditional security solutions, KAVACH integrates cybersecurity at the earliest stages of system design, ensuring vulnerabilities are identified and mitigated before deployment.

Through its advanced Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) capabilities, KAVACH allows automotive engineers, security analysts, and compliance teams to:

• Embed security early in system design to prevent vulnerabilities.

• Model and analyze potential threats using industry-standard methodologies.

• Conduct structured risk assessments to quantify security risks.

• Automate compliance verification to meet ISO 21434 and UNECE R155 requirements.

• Optimize security controls based on risk severity and potential impact.

Structured Cybersecurity Workflow

KAVACH follows a structured five-step security engineering process, ensuring that cybersecurity is embedded into every stage of automotive development.

• Define System Models – Create a digital twin of the vehicle’s cybersecurity architecture.

• Identify Threats – Use STRIDE modeling, attack trees, and vulnerability detection.

• Assess Risk Exposure – Quantify risk likelihood, impact, and severity.

• Implement Security Controls – Apply firewalls, encryption, authentication, and monitoring solutions.

• Validate Compliance – Automate security traceability and compliance verification against ISO 21434 and UNECE R155 standards.

This structured approach ensures that security remains integrated, traceable, and consistent across the entire development lifecycle.
