Through a new technical security training program from the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) and OpenSecurityTraining2 (OST2), professionals and students can upskill in cybersecurity and enhance device security. Under the agreement, OST2 will develop a series of hands-on, lab-driven classes to help individuals understand, develop and effectively utilise the Trusted Platform Module (TPM).
“TPMs are key to giving devices robust hardware-based protection rather than just software security and are a cornerstone of trusted computing. Alongside OST2, we hope the course will ensure greater awareness and understanding of how TPMs are used to safeguard sensitive data and fortify device security,” TCG president Joe Pennisi said.
TPM course
The course features more than 15 practical exercises for software developers and students, even without prior TPM knowledge or experience.
Course participants will learn how to leverage the technology to enhance software and hardware security, safeguard cryptographic operations, address vulnerabilities, and strengthen the security of cryptographic keys.
“OST2 cares deeply about improving the state of cybersecurity. Increasing the adoption of hardware-backed security like the TPM is key to having trustworthy computing systems,” said OST2 founder Xeno Kovah.
Participants will be invited to join the TPM.dev Users Group to gain further insights into utilising TPM and harness their skills in enhancing software security using the TPM.
