Overview of security activities specific to the Cyber Resilience Act
Description
With the increasing significance of software systems for digital products comes an increase in the number of threats to which these systems are exposed. A developer training course specifically referencing the Cyber Resilience Act is decisive for embedding security into the development process at an early stage and minimising risks effectively. If security is neglected, it often remains only a matter of time until vulnerabilities cause serious problems.
The EU’s Cyber Resilience Act increases the requirements for a large number of products and aims to ensure the more comprehensive and consistent implementation of security measures throughout the development process. Our Cyber Resilience Act Training Course for Developers enables companies to address these obligations. It also allows companies to improve the level of security awareness within their development teams and the quality of the systems they develop, independent of regulatory requirements.
In addition to ensuring CRA compliance, this also adds long-term value to companies’ business models. After all, reputational damage (and the associated loss of trust) caused by negative reporting poses as great a risk to systems and companies as the vulnerabilities, attacks, and data losses themselves.
Our Cyber Resilience Act Training Course provides a fundamental overview of all the relevant phases of a secure software development process and the precise stipulations of the Cyber Resilience Act. Participants will learn to evaluate the security of their software more effectively and to implement appropriate measures and activities in real-world scenarios. The course is based on our own experience in software development projects, which enables us to share real-life best practices.
Agenda
- Introduction to Security: Motivation and Security Goals
- Context: CRA and Software Security
- Secure Design: Threat Modelling, Security Requirements, Risk Assessment
- Secure Coding: Security Principles, Cryptography, Coding Guidelines
- Supply Chain Security: Threats and Solutions, SBOM
- Managing Vulnerabilities: Assessment and Prioritization Using CVSS 4.0, EPSS, and KEV
- Secure Testing: Static and Dynamic Security Testing, Test Tooling
In our in-house format, we tailor the content specifically to your situation, your architecture, and your tech stack. In addition to the standard agenda, we delve deeper into topics relevant to you—such as SAST/DAST, incident response, supply chain threats, and cryptography—and discuss your specific questions using real-world examples from your organization.
Meals Included: For our in-person training sessions, a hot lunch, snacks, and beverages are included in the seminar fee.
Typical questions we answer:
- What role do developers play in the practical implementation of the CRA?
- How can software developers identify and assess threats and risks for their software?
- What security requirements should be taken into account during software development, and how can these be implemented?
- What best practices exist for implementing authentication, authorisation, or cryptographic processes?
- What tools and methods are available for testing and monitoring software security?
- How important is supply chain security, and what measures does the CRA require?
- signed certificate of participation
- experienced trainers
- small training groups
Trainers
Our trainers are field-tested experts in their areas of expertise. Through their work in projects, they expand their knowledge day by day and pass on this know-how in their trainings - application-oriented and practice-oriented.
