According to industry sources on the 3rd, LG Electronics recently completed the CSMS level 3 certification from the internationally accredited testing and certification body 'TUV Rheinland.'

CSMS has emerged as an essential requirement for automakers since software-defined vehicles (SDVs) have become central to the mobility industry. The CSMS certification thoroughly evaluates whether security is properly applied throughout the entire process?from design, development, software, production, to after-sales management of automotive electronics products such as infotainment and telematics?by assuming various scenarios and conducting rigorous penetration testing including simulated hacking.

Following last year's acquisition of level 2 certification, which verified that LG Electronics had established CSMS, the company has now obtained level 3 certification after undergoing more stringent procedures, confirming that it strictly complies with CSMS and mass-produces actual products.

In addition to this certification, LG Electronics continues to strengthen security across all areas of its automotive electronics business. In October, it was recognized for its top-level security capabilities through the 'Automotive SPICE for Cybersecurity' certification. Automotive SPICE is a certification developed by European automakers to evaluate the stability of software in design, verification, and management for their parts suppliers. Furthermore, LG Electronics has steadily secured competitiveness in the increasingly important automotive security sector by acquiring management rights of the Israeli automotive cybersecurity company 'Cybellum' in 2021.

Eun Seok-hyun, Vice President and Head of LG Electronics' Vehicle Component Solutions (VS) Business Division, said, "Through this certification, we have been recognized for world-class vehicle cybersecurity technology and processes," adding, "We will further strengthen our security system to respond to new cyber threats."
