Attack tree Analysis: Qualitative and Quantitative Threat Modelling
David Wiseman (Customer Training & Support, Isograph Inc.) (EN->DE)

In the last 50 years motor vehicles have become increasingly dependent upon electronic control units (ECUs). The growing interconnectivity of these ECUs has opened up onboard systems to potential interference from bad actors. Attack trees are a powerful tool for identifying paths of attack and determining the likelihood and risk of the threat to a system. This presentation will explore the history, applications, and methodology of attack tree analysis. Examples will be presented using Isograph’s AttackTree 5.0 software solution.

18:00 - 18:45 pm CEST

Guided tour - Motorworld
(Limited number of participants)

Implementing Quality Center APQP at Witzenmann
Nadine Hanakam (Project Engineer, Witzenmann) (DE->EN)

The Witzenmann Group has about 4300 employees within 22 subsidiaries and 6 market divisions and produces flexible metallic elements with a wide range of diversification for many different markets and customer requirements. Decentralisation and transformation increase the need collaboration in customer projects across all divisions, which made a harmonisation of processes and software necessary. Implementing Quality Center APQP as the new software for projects & project controlling entailed challenges – especially regarding acceptance of the users. Some functions achieved the status “essential and appreciated” within our improvement process. We look forward to the further development.
