Wibu-Systems informs 18
With the arrival of Fall, I find myself reflecting
upon our recent customer successes and marvel
at the innovative ways in which our technologies
are being used to address critical applications. At
the same time, I’m also occupied with a number
of business challenges: Recruitment, internation-
alization, and regulation in cyber-security.
We strive to find the most qualified people
to fill vital positions within our organization.
Fortunately, here at Wibu-Systems we work
with exciting technologies and offer a vibrant
workplace to attract the best and brightest. We
also rely upon campus partnerships to find the
most talented newcomers to the job market. It’s
an ongoing process and quite rewarding when
we make the right connections.
As a manufacturer in the global economy, we rely
upon free and fair commerce. Free trade is the
catalyst for generating new ideas, inspiring better
solutions, and fueling business progress and pros-
perity. To that end, we are intensifying our sales
efforts in Italy and founding WIBU-SYSTEMS K.K.
in Japan to expand our international footprint.
The planned EU Cybersecurity Act is the topic
of a whitepaper by the German electrical and
mechanical engineering associations, ZVEI and
VDMA, and the German technical inspection
association TUVs that addresses the challenges
and possible solutions for cybersecurity. The
market is at a critical juncture where it needs
globally recognized guidelines to ensure the
safety of products and devices from cyber-attacks.
This is particularly important in digitized produc-
tion processes. Legislators are tasked to find a
universal approach that encompasses all types
of products and their many different applications.
In this KEYnote, you can read about the inner
workings of our CodeMeter Protection Suite,
use cases for cloud licensing, mini-certificates,
user-friendly push updates for licenses, the work
of the IUNO project, and the use of CodeMeter
by our client Metrohm. There is also an exclu-
sive look at our high-availability license server.
I am always interested in sharing thoughts
and ideas with you. I welcome you to stop by
and meet me and my colleagues at one of the
upcoming trade shows.
Best regards,
Oliver Winzenried
