Recently , the Karlsruhe IT Security Initiative came to us to ask whether they could lift the veil and show some visitors how we work our magic at a very special behind-the-scenes event here on the Wibu-Systems Campus . As one of the very few producers of security hardware in Germany , we are more than just pioneers for secure IT and software . We are ourselves a model for good practices in this area , and all of that without magic or trickery . We know which challenges exist in the procurement , processing , quality assurance , and certification of security hardware areas , and we can demonstrate how we overcome these challenges in our modern production facilities . In particular , we can answer the especially tough question of how we can put in place and maintain a completely secure lifecycle when manufacturing our products .
Wibu-Systems is a partner you can count on to supply you with products that will be available and will continue to be developed and updated long into the future . This is our promise even in these difficult times of strained chip supplies and price hikes . Our long-term approach to procurement is paying dividends now .
Regular innovation is a crucial ingredient for our growth and we have a track record to show for it , as we documented by winning the German Innovation Award for CmCloud and AxProtector JavaScript . A different type of innovation can be seen in the cooperative work done in our IT Security Club :
