Wibu-Systems at CyberSec India Expo 2026, German Pavilion, Mumbai, showcasing CodeMeter as a foundation for secure software protection, licensing, and digital business models in India.
Karlsruhe, Germany – Wibu-Systems, a global leader in software protection, licensing, and cybersecurity, will exhibit for the first time at CyberSec India Expo 2026, taking place on April 23–24 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai. At the German Pavilion, booth G3, the company will present its CodeMeter technology as a practical foundation for securing digital business models and enabling compliant software monetization in India’s rapidly evolving industrial and technological landscape.
As India accelerates its adoption of AI, cloud, and connected industrial systems, cybersecurity is shifting from perimeter protection to software-embedded enforcement. CodeMeter reflects this transition by integrating IP protection, licensing, and security directly into applications, devices, and digital services. This enables companies to protect intellectual property, enforce usage rights, and scale business models consistently across distributed environments, from cloud infrastructures to segmented or offline production networks typical of industrial automation.
For Indian OEMs, ISVs, and manufacturers, this approach supports a new phase of productization. Locally developed software and digital IP can be protected against reverse engineering and tampering while being commercialized through flexiblelicensing models such as feature-based offerings, subscriptions, and usage-based access. At the same time, consistent enforcement across multi-site deployments strengthens operational resilience in OT and IACS environments, where uptime and integrity are critical.
A highlight of the event will be the participation of Dr. Ashok-Kumar Chandra-Sekaran, Country Director India, who will join the panel “Building Cybersecurity for India’s Expanding Smart Cities & IoT Ecosystem” on April 24 to bring Wibu-Systems’ software-centric perspective to securing large-scale, interconnected digital infrastructures. “India has reached a level of industrial maturity where software is no longer an add-on, but a core driver of value creation across manufacturing, automation, and digital infrastructure. In this environment, cybersecurity must be embedded directly into the software design stage itself, not added later. At the same time, Indian companies are increasingly developing their own intellectual property and scaling it globally. Protecting and monetizing that IP in a controlled and compliant way is becoming a decisive factor for sustainable growth,” says Dr. Chandra-Sekaran.
