With Roots in Content Protection, IoT Security a Focus for Kudelski
Stefan’s son André took control of the business in 1991, when analog audio equipment was fading in relevance for the mainstream market. “He moved the business towards digital content protection, particularly in the satellite and cable to the TV space,” said Andrew Howard, global chief technology officer at Kudelski Security. Four years after assuming his role leading the company, the World Economic Forum nominated him as a “Global Leader for Tomorrow.” A year after that, he won an Emmy award for his work on Pay-TV conditional access and television scrambling systems.
