# Which approach fits your ECU programme? Honest comparisons.

> AutoST compares ECU security testing approaches pairwise: automated testing against manual penetration testing, fuzzing against vulnerability scanning, UDS fuzzing against raw CAN fuzzing, AutoST against open-source UDS tools, in-house testing against an external lab, and a one-off report against continuous testing. Each comparison states when which option is the better choice.

Side-by-side comparisons for ECU security testing: automated vs manual pentest, fuzzing vs scanning, UDS vs CAN fuzzing, AutoST vs open-source tools, in-house vs lab.

Security budgets and bench time are finite. These pages compare testing approaches side by side and say clearly when which one is the right choice, including when it is not AutoST.

## Side by side

## The same questions for every pair

Every comparison answers the same questions: what each approach finds, what it misses, what it costs in bench time and money, how it fits a release cycle and which standard or regulation asks for it. Then it names the situations in which one option is clearly better, including the ones where you do not need a product like AutoST.
