Continental is one of the early receivers of TISAX certification in the country.

Technology Company Continental has received the Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange (TISAX) certification for ensuring safety and security in manufacturing and R&D processes. The certification, which was developed under the umbrella of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), is already being used as a standard for auditing by 2,500 companies across 40 countries. In India, Continental is one of the early adopters who have received the certification, at its Bangalore plant and R&D Centre with the Manesar and Gurgaon units in line to be certified later this year.

Advancement in connected technologies at manufacturing plants and R&D centres has also led to cyber risks and vulnerabilities. Earlier, the automotive industry implemented safety engineering to protect the environment from malfunctions of the vehicular systems. However, today, the systems also need protection from malicious elements in the environment.
