Samsung Display Co., Ltd. earns two automotive OLED cybersecurity certifications, first in the industry

[Financial News] Samsung Display Co., Ltd. has simultaneously obtained two automotive cybersecurity certifications covering the development process and security management system for automotive organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays.
Samsung Display Co., Ltd. said on the 10th that it was the first in the industry to simultaneously pass assessments for the international automotive cybersecurity engineering standard ISO/SAE 21434 and ENX VCS, an assessment of automotive cybersecurity management systems.
The certification ceremony, held that day at the company’s headquarters (SDR) in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, was attended by Vice President Yu Gyeong-jin, head of Samsung Display Co., Ltd.’s Small and Mid-sized Product Development Team, and Ingo M. Lübenach, CEO of DQS, the global certification body that conducted the assessment, among others.
ISO/SAE 21434 is an international standard for managing cybersecurity risks throughout a vehicle’s lifecycle, from design and development through disposal. Based on this standard, ENX VCS is a scheme that independently assesses how well automotive companies and suppliers establish and operate security management systems. The assessment covered both the management of security risks during product development and the operational frameworks of the organizations that continuously carry out that work.
To support the expansion of its automotive OLED business, Samsung Display Co., Ltd. has secured dedicated security personnel and established monitoring procedures to analyze and address potential risks. It has also physically disassembled OLED modules to check for hacking vulnerabilities and applied security designs to address identified risks.
DQS CEO Ingo M. Lübenach said, “As cybersecurity grows increasingly important in the automotive industry, it is significant that Samsung Display Co., Ltd. has demonstrated its systematic cybersecurity management capabilities.” He added, “I expect that, in next-generation mobility, combining Samsung Display Co., Ltd.’s technological competitiveness with its cybersecurity reliability will enable it to meet the demands of global automakers and further strengthen its market competitiveness.”
Vice President Yu Gyeong-jin said, “In the SDV era, as the industry shifts toward software-centered vehicles, cybersecurity is an important factor supporting product competitiveness.” He added, “With OLED products that meet the stringent security standards demanded by automakers and consumers, we will consolidate our leadership in displays in the mobility market.”
