Licensing and Security for the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things has well and truly arrived in our lives, our work,
and the future ahead of us. It is up to the makers of smart devices to un-
derstand the cyber risks involved, to reimagine their hardware and their
processes, to safeguard infrastructures and equipment, and to get active
in a completely new dialogue with contractors, technology partners, and
clients. Only enterprises that manage to reinvent themselves are ready for
success in the new age of digital transformation.
CodeMeter in the Automation Industry
For the makers of industrial controllers and manufacturing equipment,
software has long become indispensable as a means for activating fea-
tures and delivering after-sales services. Original equipment manufac-
turers can protect their know-how against illicit copies and shield their
production data, software, and firmware from tampering by introducing
effective cryptographic capabilities. With these in place, they will win a
vital competitive edge that may determine their long-term viability and
the application of their engineering potential.
Software Integrity Protection
The Industrie 4.0 concept envisions an unprecedented level of connected-
ness – which creates completely new inroads for would-be cyber criminals
setting their sights on OEM manufacturers. With the combined power of
cryptographic technology and a battery of real-time checks to verify digital
certificates in the boot loader, operating systems, applications, and confi-
gurations, the integrity of the embedded system is in safe hands.
