Implementing privacy is not purely a technical problem. If data protection measures are too complicated, users will simply bypass them, thereby creating new risks. Fraunhofer AISEC conducts research at the intersection of usability and privacy. This article explains why poor usability poses a real threat to data privacy, which methods can help solve this problem, and what specific approaches companies can implement.
Manually verifying compliance with requirements such as the Cyber Resilience Act is not scalable. Our code analysis tool, Codyze, translates product-centric regulatory requirements into verifiable rules and automatically assesses whether the product’s source code fulfills them – across languages and microservices. Codyze makes all analysis results transparent to developers, security teams, and auditors.
In the face of growing complexity and regulatory requirements, the security of cloud services is becoming increasingly challenging. However, conventional certification procedures require considerable financial and time investment to meet these requirements. That is why the EU research project EMERALD is pursuing a new approach: It is developing a framework for continuous, automated security certification based on semantically structured evidence. This article will discuss the concepts, methods, and validation approaches of the EMERALD platform.
The Common Security Advisory Framework (CSAF) is a machine-readable format for security notices and plays a crucial role in implementing the security requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA): Security vulnerabilities can be detected and rectified faster by automatically creating and sharing security information. Fraunhofer AISEC has now published the software library »kotlin-csaf«, which implements the CSAF standard in the Kotlin programming language.
