In-house Workshop "IT Security for Software Developers of (IVD) Medical Devices"

The workshop covers the following topics:

• Regulatory requirements for cybersecurity (e.g., from IEC 81001-5-1)   
• Basics of cybersecurity   
• Vulnerabilities in memory management (e.g., assembly basics and calling conventions, buffer overflow)   
• Hardening of memory management (e.g., compiler settings, run-time protection, ASLR)   
• Frequent security gaps in software (e.g., authentication, authorization, file access control, password management, input validation, e.g., against injections)   
• Working with tools and coding guidelines

After the workshop, you will:   

• understand what secure coding means in your specific context and what role coding guidelines play in this context.  
• know and understand the coding guidelines relevant to your context.   
• be able to apply the coding guidelines in your context, avoid vulnerabilities in your own code, reliably identify existing vulnerabilities, and thus develop secure medical devices.   
• be able to demonstrate the use of and conformity with the coding guidelines.   
• be convinced of the usefulness of the coding guidelines and have the desire to familiarize yourself more deeply with the topic on your own.

The workshop is aimed at software developers working for medical device and IVD medical device manufacturers who:    

• develop software code that must meet the legal requirements for IT security.   
• are looking for practical instructions for the implementation of secure coding.   
• want to expand their skills in an efficient and targeted manner.   
• need recognized proof of their security skills.

The workshop is aimed specifically at software developers working for medical device and IVD medical device manufacturers. It builds on their experience, goes down to the code level, and uses the language and terminology of programmers.

This workshop is only offered in-house, as it is specifically tailored to your programming language and platform.
