Excellence in Software Protection, Licensing, and Cybersecurity

In this joint interview, SAP and Wibu-Systems explain how entitlement management and licensing protection work hand-in-hand to empower ISVs and device manufacturers.Key takeaways include:Why SAP Entitlement Management (EMS) is central to SAP’s Suite-as-a-Service strategy and the quote-to-cash process.How EMS defines rights and entitlements — from licenses and maintenance to warranties and subscriptions — with unique flexibility.How CodeMeter complements EMS by enforcing entitlements on the end-user side, protecting against piracy, tampering, and reverse engineering.Why the automation industry benefits from EMS + CodeMeter with secure licensing in fully isolated environments.How the combined system supports compliance with the upcoming EU Cyber Resilience Act, addressing integrity, authentication, data protection, and license traceability.Together, SAP and Wibu-Systems deliver a seamless, end-to-end entitlement and licensing solution, bridging sales, provisioning, and fulfillment — while safeguarding digital products for a secure future.

How do we prepare for a world where quantum computing, insider threats, and cyberattacks converge?In this joint discussion, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Wibu-Systems share unique insights into:Why zero trust architectures are essential to defend against insider threats.How Kerckhoffs’ principle and the award-winning Blurry Box technology provide verifiable, provable protection.The urgency of starting the post-quantum cryptography (PQC) transition now, before attackers decrypt today’s secrets tomorrow.The challenges of implementing PQC in real-world software licensing, including memory demands, multiple key handling, and smooth upgrade paths.Why flexible licensing without strong security is meaningless — and how security, IP protection, and integrity must converge to sustain future business models.Watch the roundtable that we held at our INNO DAYS 2025 event along with KIT, Infineon, and SAP and explore how we all are shaping long-term resilience with crypto agility, hybrid systems, and robust licensing mechanisms https://youtube.com/live/7isVr527YJo.

Euresys, a global leader in machine vision, shares how CodeMeter by Wibu-Systems enabled them to secure their software and streamline license management across Windows, Linux, and embedded platforms. In this short interview, Euresys explains the challenges of expanding to new platforms, why dongle-based licensing remains critical in industrial environments, and how CodeMeter’s out-of-the-box integration with ERP and cross-platform compliance made it the right fit. Wibu-Systems adds insights on working with technically strong teams like Euresys and the broader value for the machine vision industry.👉 Learn more about Euresys’ success story: https://www.wibu.com/case-studies/success-stories/story/detail/euresys-protecting-cross-platform-machine-vision.html

In this exclusive conversation, Infineon and Wibu-Systems explore how hardware-based roots of trust and secure elements are reshaping the cybersecurity landscape.Topics include:Why hardware root of trust offers stronger, future-proof protection compared to software-only approaches.How Wibu-Systems combines encryption with secure elements to protect cryptographic keys and enable reliable licensing.The growing impact of hybrid threats, including AI-driven cyberattacks and future quantum risks.The critical role of secure elements in safeguarding industrial automation, medical devices, and other critical infrastructures.How Infineon and Wibu-Systems are preparing for the EU Cyber Resilience Act, digital identities, and Europe’s leadership in secure digital transformation.Learn more in the Charter of Trust: Report about Hybrid Threats, launched at the Munich Security Conference 2025.Together, industry leaders are shaping a secure digital future through collaboration, resilience, and innovation.

Quantum computing and artificial intelligence are reshaping the digital world — and with them, the very foundations of cybersecurity and sovereignty. How do we protect sensitive data against “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks? How do we balance innovation with regulation in Europe’s dense legislative environment? And what role does energy, geopolitics, and harmonization play in this global race?At Wibu-Systems’ INNO DAYS 2025 roundtable, four experts came together to answer these questions:Prof. Dr. Joern Mueller-Quade, Professor for IT Security at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and IT Security chairman at the Institute for Theoretical Computer Science (ITI)Dr. Detlef Houdeau, Senior Director Business Development, Infineon Technologies AGThomas Depeweg, Chief Product Manager, SAP Deutschland SE & Co. KGOliver Winzenried, CEO and Founder of WIBU-SYSTEMS AGThe discussion explores:The urgency of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) migration and the risks of delay.The impact of AI on licensing, entitlement, and trust in digital assets.Europe’s regulatory landscape, from the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) to eIDAS 2.0, the Digital Business Passport, the Digital Product Passport, and the AI Act.The challenge of Europe’s high energy costs, and how sovereignty might be maintained in a world of global data centers.Practical strategies for industry, SMEs, academia, and government to act now and prepare for 2027, 2030, and beyond.This roundtable is more than a technical debate. It is a roadmap for Europe’s secure and independent digital future — where sovereignty means not isolation, but competence, collaboration, and control.👉 Listen now to hear how KIT, Infineon, SAP, and Wibu-Systems see the path forward.
