Embedded Security Engineering

To implement suitable IT security measures many different factors must be taken into account. The participants will become familiarized with a development process for embedded systems, both theoretically and practically, based on a specific application case. Hot topics, such as post-quantum cryptography and its practical feasibility in embedded systems, will also be considered.

 

Target group: developers in the field of automotive security, IoT and Embedded systems; IT security experts

Duration: 2 days in class

Requirements: Good understanding of technical systems, ideally in the field of embedded systems

Hacking: Binary Exploitation

More and more devices and systems can now be reached through the Internet and other networks, exposing them to direct attacks. This creates challenges for many companies to appropriately secure their systems and protect themselves against possible hacker attacks.The main focus of this seminar is the field of binary exploitation: for example, how programming errors in C code can be exploited to inject and execute external code.

 

Target group: group Developers, testers, operators and users

Duration: 3 days in class

Requirements: Linux basics: Routine operations with the Bourne-Again Shell (BASH) and the GNU Debugger (GDB)

Programming knowledge: Fluent reading and understanding of code in C, programming experience in C or Python

Assembler: Reading and understanding of x86_64 assembler, programming in assembler is not required

Testing security mechanisms

The course teaches test methods and concepts for testing common security mechanisms. Basic conceptual and technical knowledge is imparted, which is illustrated by means of concrete examples. In this way, the participants can try out the test methods of the security mechanisms during an attack on an IT system.  In the process, characteristic vulnerabilities are exploited, and at the same time methods are taught to identify and close them.

Target Group: Developers, system administrators, test developers

Duration: 1 day (6 hours)

Security testing processes

The course teaches the general principles and structure of security testing processes. These are considered in the context of different application life cycle models. The concrete tasks in the different phases of the security testing process are analysed. Practical security tests are explained and carried out along the different phases. Some typical vulnerabilities and test methods are explained.

Target Group: Product managers, project managers in product development, product developers, requirements developers, test developers, test analysts, test managers, acceptance testers, quality managers and consultants

Duration: 1 day (6 hours)

Software Security for Product Owners and Managers

The growing threat of security vulnerabilities in software products is putting business success at risk. However, the responsibility for security incidents is often placed solely on the development team. Though, it is the responsibility of product owners and managers to proactively address and systematically embed software security within their areas of responsibility. Secure software development starts at the management and product owner level.

Target Group: Our software security training for product owners and managers is designed for people who are responsible for developing software and who want to ensure that their products are secure.

Duration: Duration: approx. 28 hours learning time
