CODEMETER ROI
Software Security Today’ s digital life has put software security in the spotlight. This means more than protection against unauthorized use or piracy. Far more importantly, it means preventing manipulation and cyberattacks. Important industry standards like IEC 62443, the EU NIS-2 standards, and the EU Cyber Resilience Act all underline how important it is to secure software products against such threats.
In practice, protecting against manipulation and tampering means making sure that no unauthorized third party could change, harm, or otherwise compromise software in any way. This calls for security technology on various levels, from encrypting and signing code to more advanced techniques for recognizing and averting attacks. The challenge lies in implementing robust measures that do not harm the functionality and efficiency of the software, while still offering effective protections against increasingly smart attacks.
Flexible and New Pricing Models The manufacturing industry is facing increasing pressure to respond to changes in its markets and in the expectations of its customers. This also translates into a growing call for more flexible, novel usage and pricing models, as clients are turning increasingly to custom solutions that are designed to match their specific needs and budgets. Conventional monolithic and rigid licensing models struggle with doing so, and they may lead to growing dissatisfaction among clients and missed opportunities. Today’ s customers want the ability to select among different licensing options, including subscriptions, payper-use models, or other innovative alternatives.
Transitioning to new pricing models can be a complex project for many businesses. A new pricing policy goes far beyond
