UL | iSAQB-certified training for secure embedded systems

Format: Classroom or Online Training
Duration: 3 days

Directly to the dates

What can you expect?

This Advanced Level module focuses on the secure development of embedded systems, particularly for safety-critical domains such as automotive, medical technology, and connected industrial systems. Participants learn how to systematically identify threats, define appropriate countermeasures, and verify their effectiveness. The training combines theoretical foundations with hands-on exercises, enabling participants to apply security requirements directly within real-world embedded architectures.
