Independent assessments cover automotive cybersecurity
DQS completed its assessments of Samsung Display’s automotive cybersecurity management, with the achievement recognized at a ceremony at Samsung Display’s headquarters in Yongin, Republic of Korea. The event was attended by Ingo M. Rübenach, CEO of DQS Group, Alex Chi, Global Transportation Division Head and Managing Director of DQS Korea LLC, and Yoo Kyung-Jin, Corporate Executive Vice President at Samsung Display.
According to DQS, the certification and label provide automotive customers with an independent basis for assessing Samsung Display’s cybersecurity management capabilities. The announcement was issued on Nov. 10, 2026, by DQS Holding GmbH.
Standards address vehicle software and product lifecycles
ISO/SAE 21434 defines engineering requirements for managing cybersecurity risks in the electrical and electronic systems of road vehicles. The standard covers the product lifecycle, including development, production, operation, maintenance and decommissioning.
The ENX Vehicle Cyber Security, or VCS, label is based on ISO/SAE 21434. The ENX Association’s assessment scheme evaluates suppliers’ vehicle cybersecurity management systems, while successful audit results provide the basis for an ENX VCS label.
Assessment results can be shared with authorized business partners through the ENX Portal. This gives automotive companies a common basis for evaluating suppliers’ cybersecurity management capabilities.
Samsung Display expands its automotive OLED focus
Samsung Display is expanding its automotive OLED business. The company says it has established a cybersecurity management system for automotive products, supported by dedicated personnel and processes to monitor and address potential risks.
“The transition to software-defined vehicles changes what automotive manufacturers expect from their suppliers,” Rübenach said, according to DQS. He added that cybersecurity must be part of how an organization develops products, makes decisions and responds to new risks.
Yoo said, “In the era of software-defined vehicles (SDVs), cybersecurity is an important factor underpinning product competitiveness.” He added that Samsung Display would provide OLED products meeting the security standards required by automotive manufacturers and consumers.
Samsung Display develops and manufactures OLED and QD-OLED display panels for vehicles as well as smartphones, tablets, laptops, monitors, TVs and wearables. The company was established in 2012 and is headquartered in Yongin, Korea. DQS says it has assessed Samsung Display’s management processes, giving automotive customers documented information to use when evaluating the company as a supplier.
