DeepSec 2024 Talk: Living on the Edge: eBPF Defenses for Embedded System (in the Automotive Domain) – Reinhard Kugler (

Sanna/ September 20, 2024/ Conference/ 0 comments

Linux has become a driving factor in the industrial and automotive domain. Vehicles are already a complex network of electrical components. In recent years, the technology stack and connectivity of vehicles have drastically evolved. Is all this complexity still safe and secure? How can embedded systems running different bus systems and physical interfaces be protected against modern attackers? The now mandatory updates of on-board components in these vehicles have introduced even new security challenges to this evolving landscape. Common Linux security measures, including capabilities, permissions, and mandatory access control, are already hitting their limits. Using eBPF technologies promises a flexible way to define security at runtime without the need to change the application code. Will this be as transformative for the embedded sector as it has been for the cloud? This talk presents hands-on

DeepSec 2021: A lack of software security paralyzes the economy in times of crisis – visit DeepSec 2021 to train your developers

Sanna/ April 20, 2021/ Development, Press, Training

In every crisis, one’s own infrastructure and logistics are put to serious tests. The COVID-19 pandemic illustrates this particularly drastically through the many structural failures in the past 12 months. They try to solve biological problems with smartphones, favor dead-end technologies such as blockchain, discover the lack of network expansion in recent decades and then panic and publish software applications that are only subjected to serious tests after they have been published. All these quick fixes are snapshots of a lack of sustainability. But the economy is dependent on stable solutions based on many years of experience, especially now. In November 2021, the DeepSec conference would like to give support to everyone who works with software through trainings and the transfer of experience from security researchers. Code rules the World The word digitization is
