In this webinar, Principal Technical Support Engineer Dr. Frank van den Beuken shares insights from more than 650 automotive development professionals, highlighting key security challenges such as meeting software security requirements and enforcing secure coding practices. As ISO/SAE 21434 continues to gain traction, its expectations for analyzing software weaknesses and ensuring consistent cybersecurity practices are becoming central to modern development workflows.
Dr. Van den Beuken will explore key considerations for selecting programming languages, including ISO 25010 quality characteristics, and review AUTOSAR‑supported languages (C, C++, Java) alongside widely used options such as Python, C#, JavaScript, and Rust. Because these languages differ in origin, application, and often coexist within complex systems — such as Android applications using Kotlin, Java, and C++ — he will discuss their quality attributes, common weaknesses, and effective mitigation strategies.
Join us to learn more about:
- Key security challenges from the 2025 State of Automotive Software Development Report
- ISO/SAE 21434 compliance and its impact on software development
- Programming language selection factors, including ISO 25010 and AUTOSAR‑supported languages
- Language weaknesses, mitigation strategies, and multi-language use cases
