In the face of increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats, ETM Professional Control took a proactive approach and selected industry-leading Wibu-Systems Codemeter technology to protect its iconic WinCC open architecture platform. This choice not only reflects the high priority that ETM places on security, but also marks a firm step forward in ensuring the safety of critical infrastructure operations. WinCC OA, a software designed for large-scale SCADA applications across a wide range of industrial and public infrastructure sectors, has an important responsibility to ensure the smooth functioning of society. In this context, the introduction of Codemeter is not only a technical upgrade, but also a manifestation of ETM's commitment to customer safety and the public.
Wibu-Systems, a global leader in software licensing and protection technology, adds an impregnable line of defense to the security of WinCC OA software with the addition of CodeMeter technology. At the heart of this solution is its ability to resist software piracy, reverse engineering, tampering and cyber attacks, providing a shield-like protection for the core support system of WinCC OA software. With the rise of modern technologies such as cloud computing and container technology, the open architecture of WinCC OA is facing unprecedented challenges. The addition of CodeMeter is like navigating the WinCC OA software in this turbulent sea, ensuring that it can sail steadily, protecting the security of every piece of data and the reliability of every operation.
In an ever-changing global economy and regulatory environment, flexibility is key to business survival and growth. The deep integration of CodeMeter and WinCC OA software not only enables comprehensive protection and unified licensing across various platforms from ARM to x86, from native Windows and Linux systems to mobile and web interfaces, but also injects new vitality into the cooperation between ETM and Wibu-Systems. This collaboration not only ensures the security and integrity of the software, but more importantly, it facilitates ETM's business expansion and customer service capabilities in the global market, demonstrating the two companies' shared commitment to innovation, security and customer satisfaction.
Bernhard Reichl, CEO of ETM Professional Control, said: "With CodeMeter, we are able to expand our global presence together with our partners by generating and securing licenses for our SCADA product SIMATIC WinCC OA. Not only does CodeMeter protect against unauthorized use, but Wibu-Systems' technology also protects valuable intellectual property in our solutions with integrated partners. ”
Stefan Bamberg, Head of Sales & Key Account Management at Wibu-Systems, added, "We understand the importance of flexibility, especially for SCADA projects that can meet highly customized requirements or are affected by specific system requirements and functionality, such as the energy, oil & gas, and building automation industries. CodeMeter provides the ability to use secure permissions in a distributed and decentralized configuration, bringing unprecedented management flexibility to users. ”
By introducing Wibu-Systems' CodeMeter technology, ETM Professional Control has not only achieved technological leaps and bounds, but also strengthened its win-win relationship with partners at a strategic level to jointly explore new opportunities for global business. This strategic partnership is not only an effective response to existing security challenges, but also a positive preparation for the various complexities that may be faced in the future, demonstrating the long-term perspective of the two companies' shared commitment to technological innovation, customer satisfaction, and security. As technology continues to advance and market needs evolve, the close collaboration between ETM and Wibu-Systems will continue to lead the way in software protection and license management for a more secure, flexible, and global future.
