An important goal of the 7th IACS WS’22 is on how to achieve sustainable Cybersecurity and Safety of Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS). Axel Rennoch from Fraunhofer FOKUS is part of the program and organizing committee.

On 8. April 2022, European experts meet for an online roundtable to discuss “The need for IoT security standards and certification”. Participants include the European Commission, ENISA, ETSI, ECSO, GlobalPlatform, AIOTI, BEUC, EY, and seven H2020 IoT security research projects. As IoT security remains a key concern, we will discuss the need for harmonized IoT security standards and the progress leading to a mandatory, at least Europe-wide, IoT security certification scheme.

The “Certified Professional IoT” training provides participants with methods and guidelines for quality assurance in the increasingly complex Internet of Things. The three-day training course will be held at FOKUS is subject to a fee. Please note that the training will be held in German.

The workshop on Testing of Configurable and Multi-variant Systems (ToCaMS) is part of the XIVT project and will be held during the “International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation” (ICST 2020) in Porto. 

Participants learn about working with the newly developed “Multi-Party Recognition Framework” (MPRF), which summarizes the enormously increased number of requirements in the regulation of cloud services. The free workshop is aimed at CSPs, customers of cloud services, certificate issuers and audit firms. 

The free workshop will focus on the EU-SEC approach for the introduction of a certification scheme for cloud services based on continuous auditing. The workshop is aimed at interested parties who already have experience in providing secure cloud services or would like to gain this experience.
