You have all come across certain terms in the
titles of lectures or agendas of conferences:
security by design, security or privacy by default
and so on. But what do they actually mean,
and how can we achieve them? The ideal is
security and privacy by default, that is, all devices
fulfilling our security and privacy needs out of the
box. Security and privacy by design are crucial
preconditions for this, because the right design
is needed for truly meaningful default security.
Windows 10 is one example of privacy by design,
but not by default, because it still needs its
users to make many manual changes to achieve
real privacy. Security might not be high on the
agenda for every user, but it is indispensable for
many other scenarios – think of intensive care
(pacemakers), critical infrastructure systems, or
the potential risks for chemical plants.
Security is a sine qua non for Industrie 4.0 and
the Internet of Things. At the same time, it is
becoming increasingly important to protect
the data of users (privacy) or secure data in
manufacturing. Rights management is needed
that is powerful enough to handle the rights
of many different parties simultaneously, but
separately. CodeMeter is the answer: We are
helping developers and manufacturers build
security and data protection right into their
systems. For this purpose, we are working with
BITKOM, VDMA, the OPC Foundation, and the
Industrial Internet Consortium, and are actively
investing in R&D in Europe, the United States,
and China.
Read this KEYnote to learn more about how
we keep CodeMeter reliably available over the
long term, the use of Raspberry Pi, licenses
in the cloud, SAP Best Practices, and lots of
innovations concerning our newest invention,
the Universal Firm Code.
I am looking forward to meeting you at one
of your upcoming conferences and expos.
For now, I wish you and your loved ones a
peaceful and relaxing holiday season.
Yours,
Oliver Winzenried
CEO
