CAST Workshop: Law and IT Security: Digital Sovereignty - A Demand of Data Protection and Data Security?

Digital sovereignty is being called for by the European Commission, the German government and the state government of Hesse. This objective has met with a great deal of approval in the political debate. On the one hand, this is because the dependence on hardware and software from the USA and China and on services from global IT corporations means that there is a great need for self-determination in the use of information technology. Another reason is that the concept of digital sovereignty is not very clear-cut. It therefore makes sense to define more precisely what is to be understood by digital sovereignty from the perspective of data protection and IT security. Only then can it be determined to what extent digital sovereignty is possible, with what strategies and by what means it can be pursued, and whether the disadvantages that arise in the process should be accepted. The event will explore these questions from the perspectives of data protection and IT security.

Cybersecurity Learning Lab: Digital Forensics for Internal Investigations (Advanced Course)

In the course of digitalization, cyber attacks on companies are increasing exponentially. The perpetrators are hackers and insiders from within their own organization, so the forensic investigation of an information security incident is important. In many cases, IT departments lack the know-how to conduct forensic investigations. In this seminar, forensics experts from Fraunhofer SIT teach suitable methods of IT forensics for data carriers and RAM. By means of practical exercises, the knowledge gained will be deepened in order to be able to conduct forensic examinations on one's own.

Learning Lab Cybersecurity: Security and Privacy of Bluetooth Low Energy

The widespread use of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and the lack of protection against attacks in the basic configuration make BLE a popular target for attacks.
Experts from Fraunhofer SIT will bring participants up to date on the security and privacy of Bluetooth Low Energy and provide an overview of published vulnerabilities in the BLE protocol and in specific implementations. The training is rounded off with a best practice for the design of BLE applications.

ATHENE Event Series "Legal Framework of Cybersecurity Research"

The virtual event series offers cybersecurity researchers support in clarifying legal issues that arise in the course of their research - for example, when identifying vulnerabilities or simulating cyberattacks. Today, Christian Köpp from SAP will give a presentation on "Sicherheitslücke aufgedeckt – und jetzt?! Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure aus rechtlicher und praktischer Sicht."
Linda Schreiber, ATHENE, will introduce the topic.

Lernlabor Cybersicherheit: Eingebettete Sicherheitstechnik

The challenge: to methodically develop and implement cybersecurity for embedded systems.
Experts from Fraunhofer SIT will demonstrate a theoretical and practical development process for embedded systems. Participants learn to apply a systematic development methodology based on a concrete use case, as required e.g. in the automotive sector in SAE-J3061. Issues such as lightweight cryptography with suitable key management, hardware security concepts such as TPM 2.0 and the development of protocols are addressed.
