The concept as seen from the figure is a holistic and actionable overview but it does not specify what in particular is required to maintain it in a clear and concise way. That’s when the cybersecurity plan comes into play.
To dive into this further, we can use our example with the infotainment system previously. We breakdown the infotainment system to its core components so that each can have a tailored cybersecurity plan.
As new features are proposed and developed through the lifecycle it will go down the cybersecurity plan pipeline ensuring it stays within the bounds of the concept. For an infotainment unit that extends its capability to connect to the internet, this feature would need to funnel into the cybersecurity plan.
