One of the biggest issues emerging from the pandemic has been the huge uptick in industrial cyberattacks. Bad actors are looking to take advantage of what they feel is one of the most vulnerable sectors in terms of cybersecurity – manufacturing. A combination of weaker, untested security protocols and the plethora of intellectual and personal data available makes the industrial sector an extremely appealing target. The podcast series from Manufacturing.net - Security Breach, looks to offer the insight and tools needed for an enterprise to ready their defenses in preparation for these inevitable attacks, and develop strategies for responding in order to mitigate the impacts of these hacks. In this episode, Marcellus Buchheit, President and CEO of Wibu-Systems USA, discusses how vulnerabilities and risks need to be assessed beyond their expense to focus on updates, reconfigurations, and the growing number of OT connection points, the impact of AI, the role of quantum computing and the steps to take in preparing for “Q Day”, and several other critical factors involved in securing the industrial sector.

The new "Between the Layers" LinkedIn Audio Series from RWTH Aachen University Digital Additive Production explores the real-world applications of Additive Manufacturing (AM) in industry. The series debuts with a discussion on the potential for AM to enable decentralized production, featuring insights from the University chief engineer Moritz Kolter and our expert Alvaro Forero, a member of the Wibu-Systems Professional Services team. They delve into the transformative impact of 3D printing on production through the Sino-German ProCloud3D R&D project, highlighting both successes and challenges. This initiative, which recently came to a close, aimed to foster international economic cooperation through innovative technological platforms and safeguarding intellectual property in 3D printing, setting a new standard for industrial production and international technological cooperation.

Marcellus Buchheit, President and CEO of Wibu-Systems USA, spoke with Scott MacKenzie, host of the Industrial Talk podcast, at the Q1 meeting of the Object Management Group in Reston, VA, USA. Marcellus offered interesting insights into subscription-based services, drawing a parallel between consumer-based subscriptions like those presented for products at the Consumer Electronics Show and similar business models in the industrial and medical world. For example, Marcellus pointed out the advantages of a subscription service for an expensive medical device, which allows the healthcare provider to avoid the heavy upfront costs of the system and pay only on a monthly basis or a usage basis. He also noted that it is advantageous for both parties to maintain ongoing engagement to keep the system up and running as it should for the service provider while continuing the revenue stream for the manufacturer.

While heavily involved in pioneering technology innovations, Wibu-Systems and its founders who have been managing the company since its inception almost 35 years ago, stand up for traditional values, i.e. children as the best investment in the collective future, education as the key foundation of any human development, cultivating arts to build rounded personalities, respect for the environment, and giving back to local communities. As Oliver Winzenried, CEO of WIBU-SYSTEMS AG explains to Heise, these are the major company tenets that result in impactful campaigns, such as those led in cooperation with Kinderhilfe Lateinamerika e.V. to support safer childhood, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology to promote R&D activities and sustainable concepts, the Canisiushausverein to foster local volunteering actions, and the University of Music Karlsruhe. With the most recent venture, the House of IT Security, the company is entering a new stage where it shares its technology and business skills with startups.

Watch this video podcast of Marcellus Buchheit, Wibu-Systems USA’s president and CEO, and Scott Mackenzie, host of the popular IndustrialTalk podcast series, that was recorded live at the Q4 2022 Industry IoT Consortium meeting held in Austin, TX. Marcellus is the co-chair of the IIC’s Trustworthiness Working Group, dedicated to exploring the five aspects of trustworthiness – safety, security, privacy, reliability, and resilience – relevant to IIoT and the IIC's vision of an IIoT ecosystem. In this episode, Marcellus sheds some light on how trust and trustworthiness are crucial elements to ascertain confidence in the proper operation of industrial systems, particularly those that can have detrimental safety and environmental impact on people and society at large if mishandled. The risks and negative consequences are even greater with increasingly networked and connected industries.
