The Internet of Things is without question the buzzword in ICT. The 2016 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain took this to a new level, writes Brian Partridge, the research vice president at 451 Research. The high level prioritisation that IoT holds among major ICT suppliers would have the uninitiated believing that IoT is accelerating everywhere. Of course it’s not, as anyone with P&L responsibilities attached to IoT growth in 2015 would attest. (more…)

Financial institutions have the responsibility of keeping their customers’ information private and secure. When providing processing solutions for financial institutions, vendors and partners of these institutions must also provide a high level of security. In a 2013 study by Kaspersky Lab, there were 28.4 million cyber attacks involving financial malware identified. This was a 27.6% increase over 2012.
Application context and security requirement
A leading manufacturer of electrical systems for railways wanted to protect their know-how invested in their so ware against counterfeiting, reverse engineering, and tampering. Wibu developed a technology – CodeMeter® Embedded – protecting the integrity of the machine code.
Challenge
The vendor manufactures a real-time controller for the electric power system of trains. The unit is therefore used in harsh conditions with public safety implications. Even though it employs failsafes, a power outage can cause inconvenience for passengers, and could lead to delays across the entire network, and cause other safety concerns. The challenge is not just building a robust controlling so ware for the power converter system, but also making sure it stays secure from local and remote cyber-attacks.
