Samsung Display is putting more focus on security as it expands its car display business. The Korean firm has become the first in the industry to earn two automotive cybersecurity certifications. This could help the company win more trust from automakers in the era of software-defined vehicles (SDVs).
Samsung Display secures dual automotive cybersecurity certifications
Samsung Display received the ISO/SAE 21434 and ENX VCS certifications during a ceremony at its research center in Yongin, South Korea, on November 10.
To achieve these standards, the company built a dedicated cybersecurity management system for its automotive products. It has assigned specialized staff and set up a monitoring process to detect, analyze, and respond to potential risks.

Interestingly, Samsung Display also physically disassembled its automotive OLED modules to hunt for possible hacking weak spots. The company then baked security measures directly into its product designs.
Speaking of ISO/SAE 21434, the international standard helps companies manage cybersecurity risks throughout a vehicle’s life. It has become more important as Europe introduces stricter cybersecurity rules for automotive and digital products.
Meanwhile, ENX VCS builds on that standard. It is an independent assessment program from the ENX Association, a European group of automakers, suppliers, and industry associations. The program looks at how well companies have set up and run their cybersecurity management systems. As a result, it gives them a way to prove their security practices are reliable.
Basically, ISO/SAE 21434 sets the security requirements, while ENX VCS checks whether a company follows them properly. These two certifications could help Samsung Display attract more automakers looking for suppliers that meet their vehicle security requirements.
“In the era of SDVs, cybersecurity has become a critical factor underpinning product competitiveness,” said a Samsung Display executive. “We will further solidify our display leadership in the mobility market by delivering OLED products that meet the stringent security standards required by automakers and consumers.”
