Software for Preventing Product Piracy & Cyber-Attacks

Wibu-Systems AG offers a range of embedded software to prevent product piracy and cyber-attacks. Encryption and digital signature are the keys to industry protection. In modern production times, embedded software has become indispensable. It defines how a milling machine, a welding robot or an embroidery machine should work. The know-how enclosed therein is valuable: for counterfeiters who want to own it themselves, for industrial spies who then resell it to competitors, or for saboteurs who are looking for vulnerabilities aimed at tampering the embedded software and damaging the machine or the whole production process. This is especially true in the era of Industry 4.0 and intelligent factories, the so-called "Smart Factories" in which machines are inter-connected or even networked to the Internet, and manufacturers should adopt new and effective measures to be safe from cyber-attacks. Wibu-Systems offers such protection, based on encryption and signing of the embedded software, a complete range of protective solutions for different protection needs and requirements: integrity protection of embedded software to detect and eradicate tampering and cyber-attacks; copy protection of the embedded software to prevent machine, plant or device counterfeiting; know-how protection through protection of the embedded software from analysis (reverse-engineering); protection of production data through encryption; flexible activation of device functions to enable new business models (feature-on-demand, pay-per-use); factory-proof through the adoption of protection hardware resistant to cold, heat, humidity and electric or magnetic fields (EMC); and easy retrofit into existing systems.
