Samsung Display First in Display Industry to Earn Two International Automotive Cybersecurity Certifications

Passes both "ISO/SAE 21434" and "ENX VCS" audits simultaneously

Samsung Display has once again demonstrated its competitiveness in the automotive OLED market, earning recognition for its reliability in addressing cybersecurity threats, an increasingly prominent industry concern.

Samsung Display said on the 10th that it had become the first company in the display industry to pass audits for both the “Road Vehicles—Cybersecurity Engineering” international standard (ISO/SAE 21434) and the “Automotive Cybersecurity Management System Assessment” (ENX VCS).

At a ceremony held that day at Samsung Display’s headquarters in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, key representatives attended in person to share the results of the collaboration. They included Yu Gyeongjin, vice president and head of Samsung Display’s Small and Medium-Sized Product Development Team, and Ingo M. Lübenach, CEO of DQS, the global testing and certification organization that conducted the assessment.

The “ISO/SAE 21434” standard, which Samsung Display obtained, was established to systematically identify and manage cybersecurity threats throughout a vehicle’s entire life cycle, from design and development to mass production, maintenance, and disposal. The “ENX VCS” assessment, which Samsung Display also passed, is a system under which the European automotive manufacturers’ and suppliers’ association, ENX Association, independently and rigorously evaluates a company’s ability to establish and operate a cybersecurity management system based on the ISO/SAE 21434 standard.

To proactively address the rapidly growing demand for automotive OLEDs, Samsung Display has secured dedicated cybersecurity personnel and established an advanced monitoring process to continuously track and resolve potential security risks. In particular, simulations involving the physical disassembly and inspection of automotive OLED modules enabled the company to identify in advance potential vulnerabilities to hacking. Samsung Display has also incorporated its proprietary security design, developed to address the identified risks, into its mass-production process.

“As cybersecurity becomes increasingly important in the automotive industry, it is significant that Samsung Display has demonstrated its systematic cybersecurity management capabilities,” CEO Lübenach said. “We expect the combination of Samsung Display’s technological competitiveness and cybersecurity reliability in next-generation mobility to meet the requirements of global automakers and further strengthen its market competitiveness.”

“In the era of software-defined vehicles (SDVs), as vehicles transition to software-centered systems, cybersecurity is an important factor underpinning product competitiveness,” Vice President Yu said. “With OLED products that meet the stringent security standards required by automakers and consumers, we will solidify our leadership in displays in the mobility market.”
