Embedded Systems Cybersecurity

QA&TEST Safety & Cybersecurity Conference

Embedded systems are at the core of critical sectors such as railways, automotive, industry, energy, and medical devices. Their increasing connectivity, integration with IP networks, use of ever more complex software, and reliance on data make them a prime target from a cybersecurity perspective.

In this context, cybersecurity can no longer be addressed as an isolated concern, but rather as an integral part of functional safety and overall system quality. Vulnerabilities in embedded systems can have direct impacts on human safety, service continuity, and regulatory compliance.

This edition of the QA&TEST Safety and Cybersecurity Conference will be dedicated to embedded systems cybersecurity, focusing on the main technical, regulatory, and organizational challenges faced by companies that develop, integrate, or operate this type of system.

During the conference, topics will include, among others:

  • Key threats and attack vectors affecting embedded systems.
  • Integration of cybersecurity and safety from the early stages of development.
  • Relevant regulations and standards (IEC 62443, ISO/SAE 21434, CENELEC, ENS, among others).
  • Cybersecurity verification, validation, and testing strategies in embedded environments.
  • Practical case studies and real-world experiences in critical sectors.

A meeting point for professionals in engineering, quality, safety, development, and certification who are seeking more secure, resilient, and trustworthy embedded systems, aligned with current market demands and regulatory requirements.

Organiser

SQS, Software Quality Systems, organises QA&TEST since the very beginning in 2001. SQS, as the leading provider of software quality consultancy and testing services, has witnessed how their customers improve the quality of their software developments while dramatically reducing the costs of correcting bugs and maintenance.
Aware of the need for training in the sector, SQS began the search for a new way to share their training experience and, in 2001, QA&TEST was born. The success of the conference is a pride for SQS, consolidated as an ideal platform to exchange knowledge of testing and supported by a large community of experts that has been forged over the years.
