The development of an industrial IoT application is still a major challenge due to its overall complexity. An adaptive building block concept for industrial IoT applications can speed up the development process and ensure security in accordance with IEC 62443.
New sales channels in mechanical engineering
The use of software in the industry can be monetized by means of subscriptions, feature-on-demand or pay-per-use. This must be organized and secured with the help of suitable protection and licensing technology. Wibu-Systems shows how it works.

The industry is increasingly threatened by cyberattacks - and the linking of IT and OT to the IIoT makes it vulnerable. How can you arm yourself against cyber threats? Stephan Strohmeier from NewTec takes a stand.
Static analysis enables software developers to maintain high code quality right from the start. The early and frequent checking for errors and their elimination reduces the workload and helps to avoid software vulnerabilities.
Their far superior computing power to conventional computers enables quantum computers to break conventional encryption methods. But how should cryptography be further developed to provide effective protection in a post-quantum world?
The number of cyberattacks is increasing and, according to the BSI, ransomware attacks in particular are a current threat to companies in all sectors. For companies, the question is no longer whether they will be attacked, but only when. What can effective protection look like?
Edge computing combined with safety and security is changing the requirements for automation. One trend is to build automation systems from partially autonomous subsystems. This allows complex applications with cooperating robots to be implemented quickly.
In mid-December 2021, the "Log4Shell" vulnerability was discovered in the Java library Log4j. An incident that gnaws at the image of open source. How is damage limitation possible when using open source?
The advantages of digital automation concepts are manifold. However, increasing networking is also making industrial production the focus of cyber criminals. In this interview, Michael Veit from Sophos explains the potential dangers and protection options.
