Wibu-Systems will exhibit at Hannover Messe (Hall 16, D10) to showcase its innovative cybersecurity solutions. With the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) already in force since December 10, 2024, alongside other far-reaching regulations such as NIS-2 and RED DA, companies around the world across industries face increased pressure to enhance their security frameworks. WibuSystems is at the forefront of this transformation, offering cutting-edge security solutions tailored to meet these new demands.
Navigating Regulatory Pressure in the EU
The Cyber Resilience Act aims to redefine cybersecurity standards across Europe, mandating strict security protocols for all products with digital elements. Conformity assessment bodies must comply by June 11, 2026, while manufacturers are required to report exploitable vulnerabilities by September 11, 2026. Full enforcement will commence on December 11, 2027, making it imperative for businesses to begin implementing robust security measures now to ensure compliance. Non-compliance could lead to penalties, sales restrictions, and increased liability risks. Additionally, the NIS-2 Directive and RED DA introduce further obligations for manufacturers, service providers, and critical infrastructure operators, reinforcing the need for strengthened cybersecurity defenses. Wibu-Systems is ready to assist companies in navigating these evolving regulatory landscapes.
Expert Insights: Cybersecurity Panel at Hannover Messe
For a deeper understanding of how businesses can navigate these regulatory challenges, Wibu-Systems' CEO, Oliver Winzenried, will participate in a high-profile panel discussion: “Cybersecurity Between Regulation and Ransomware – Implementing CRA, NIS-2, and RED DA in Practice.” The panel, taking place on April 1 (09:45-11:15, Hall 16, A12), will be moderated by VDMA (the German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association), a leading voice in industrial digitalization. The discussion will feature industry experts from Lenze, NORD, Wibu-Systems, and BSI (Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security), examining the impact of cybersecurity regulations and best practices for implementation.
