The Digital Transformation: A Challenge for Software Engineering
As digitalization permeates every aspect of business and daily life, the role of software engineering has never been more critical. From manufacturing to critical infrastructure, robust and secure software is the foundation of reliable and efficient systems. However, in today’s regulatory landscape, software engineering is not just about writing efficient and functional code – it must also meet stringent legal requirements. Regulations like the AI Act and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) demand that companies integrate security, privacy, and compliance into their software development processes from the outset. Ensuring software integrity, protecting intellectual property, and safeguarding sensitive data are now essential components of responsible software engineering.
Featured Talk: MAC & Embedded Linux Cheese – Tasting the Best of Security with Mandatory Access Control
On June 3, from 2:30 pm to 3:15 pm, join us in Room Rheinauen (#security track) for an in-depth session exploring the crucial role of Mandatory Access Control (MAC) in modern Linux-based systems. Discover what MAC is and why it is an essential security mechanism even in environments already governed by users and groups. Using AppArmor as a practical example, we will demonstrate how traditional access control mechanisms in Linux – such as users, groups, and capabilities – can be augmented with advanced security features. The talk also covers key technologies like Namespaces and Control Groups, leading into a hands-on approach: building a minimal Linux system with AppArmor (e.g., via Buildroot) and securing an application through tailored AppArmor profiles. We will show how threat modeling methods like STRIDE and considerations from the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) help identify attack vectors and mitigate them with MAC strategies. A live demo will highlight how AppArmor can actively defend and minimize security risks – perfect for anyone looking to better understand and secure Linux systems.
