Hardly a day goes by without a mention of PRISM,
Tempora, or XKeyscore in the media. Behind the
acronyms, the private information of citizens is at stake –
and so is industrial espionage. In business, know-how is
essential for survival. It can take many forms: algorithms
or software processes in IT or parts and components
built into physical devices and machines. Manufacturing
data, which can include invaluable intellectual property
and production know-how about the complete product,
is also affected. In an ever more integrated world, the
‘security’ of open systems has become a top priority.
Governments across the world are actively investing into
research in the field, be it in Europe with its ISO62443
standards, in the United States ISA99, or in Asia.
Protection against these threats needs increasingly
sophisticated solutions. Licensing and monitoring are
becoming more and more important in traditional IT to
give users as much freedom to use their products as
possible, but still allow accurate billing. In manufacturing,
resilient protections have become essential in the fight
against cyber-attacks and illicit manipulation. With
CodeMeter, our research and development efforts
cover both flanks: CmLicenseCentral has expanded
modules such as retail, usage metering, and electronic
software distribution functionality; our tools make
integrity protection easier and more effective; and we
are supporting more and more industry environments
and standards. We do this to give our users a system
they can depend on for the long term with solutions
that fulfill their requirements both today and tomorrow.
