Functional Safety

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Embedded Austria No. 6 is dedicated to functional safety in embedded systems.

Three speakers with strong roots in major open source projects share hands-on experience from safety-critical systems, Linux-based platforms, and complex software stacks. The focus is practical: what works, what breaks, and what it really takes to align open source development with functional safety requirements.

Expect concrete insights, honest lessons learned, and discussion beyond marketing slides.

The evening concludes with open networking, an opportunity to continue the discussion and connect with others from the embedded community.

Security Regulations, Norms and Tooling

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

As embedded systems become increasingly connected, developers face growing pressure to meet new security and compliance requirements. In this event, we’ll explore how the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and NIS2 directive are shaping the future of embedded software. We’ll also discuss relevant norms, standards, and the tooling ecosystem that can help teams stay compliant and efficient. Join us to learn, share, and connect with others navigating these changes.

Agenda

18:00–18:20 Event Opening
18:20–19:00 “Compliance by Design”: how EU Legislation enforces Embedded Device Security - Gerald Sendera
19:05–19:45 Standards for implementing new compliance requirements from CRA/NIS2/etc. - Thomas Bleier
19:50–20:30 Tools and Methods for Threat Modelling with CRA/IEC 62443-4-1/2 in mind - Martin Aman
20:30–22:00 Open Networking

“Compliance by Design”: how EU Legislation enforces Embedded Device Security

Containers in Embedded Software

Thu, 13 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Join us for this Embedded Austria event, where we will explore the various applications of containers in embedded software.

Talks

Beyond docker build: Securing your docker life-cycle - Erwan Sudrat & Felix Ring
Living on the Edge: Securing containers on embedded platforms using eBPF - Reinhard Kugler
Report from the Field: Practical Usage of Containers in Railway - Andreas Gabriel-Platschek & Raphael Rippl

Beyond docker build: Securing your docker life-cycle

The attack vectors for containerized software are not limited to breaching confinements and privilege escalation on running deployments. This talk broadens the scope of docker vulnerabilities over the complete life-cycle, starting from supply-chain attacks, ensuring authenticity through every step of your deployment process, to continuous vulnerability monitoring by leveraging SBOMs.

Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS)

Tue, 01 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Join us for this Embedded Austria event, where we will explore the latest developments in real time operating systems (RTOS).
