A Method to Analyze Cyber Security Guideline using System Thinking

Abstract

In the automotive industry, advancements in cybersecurity measures have become essential. Consequently, the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association and the Japan Auto Parts Industries Association have formulated cybersecurity guidelines. These guidelines specify items the entire automotive industry should prioritize based on the enterprise-wide perspective, standard objectives based on the information being handled, and ultimate goals to be achieved.In this paper, we propose a method to analyze the approach aimed at by the cybersecurity guidelines from a systems thinking perspective. Systems thinking allows for a systematic analysis of who conducts the activities of a system, for what purpose, and by what means. Through an illustrative analysis of the cybersecurity guidelines using this method, we will demonstrate its efficacy. Furthermore, we will discuss future prospects.
