Key Features

IoT Device Security: The platform allows users to provision, secure, and manage device identities with a PKI-based cloud IoT Identity Platform. According to the vendor, this platform offers scalable, flexible, and interoperable IoT security.

IoT Security Starts with PKI: The platform implements Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) as the standard credential for IoT and IIoT device identity. According to the vendor, this feature delivers trusted IoT experiences with secure digital certificates issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) and uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt and secure communications within ecosystems.

5G for IoT: Identifying Devices, Securing the Core, and Protecting the Network: The platform provides PKI and CA services to help IoT device manufacturers provision identities for 5G connections. It also assists carriers and MNOs in securing their 5G core network and aids private cellular network operators in protecting their dedicated networks, according to the vendor.

Secure Device Identity for Connected Devices: The platform enables authentication, encryption, and integrity in IoT solutions and connected devices. It offers built-in identity and security for IoT solutions and connected device manufacturing, ensuring secure communication between devices, services, and users, according to the vendor.

Unprecedented scalability – Thousands of Certificates per second: The platform provides the volume and throughput needed to futureproof IoT expansion. It offers a scalable IoT Identity Platform to meet individual and industry growth expectations, supporting the incorporation of IoT in various industries, from industrial endpoints to smart cities initiatives, according to the vendor.

IoT Technology Partnerships are the core of today’s interconnected business models: The platform benefits customers and key partners through strategic partnerships from chip to cloud. It delivers broader solutions to mutual customers, provides digital identities that secure IoT devices and communication, enables faster and smoother integrations, and creates a competitive advantage for both parties, according to the vendor.

Built on Trust, Innovation, and Leadership: Backed by the trustworthiness of a global Certificate Authority (CA) leader, the platform showcases innovative product development with the IoT Identity Platform solution. It actively participates with organizations within the Industrial IoT (IIoT) on test beds, industry standards groups, and consortia. According to the vendor, it also offers easy, quick, and secure X.509 Certificates for Device Authentication in Azure IoT Hub, DPS, and IoT Edge.

IoT Developer Portal: The platform provides IoT developers and organizations with centralized access to tools, information, and expert guidance. It aims to improve the quality of IoT security-solution decision making, increase productivity by streamlining security integration, and enable easy scaling from PoC into production level operations, according to the vendor.

PKI-based Device Identity Implementation: The platform allows IoT developers and organizations to create competitive differentiators by implementing PKI-based device identity. It aims to enhance the security of connected devices, provide a high-scale Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and identity solutions, and ensure secure online communications, authentication, and encryption for IoT devices, according to the vendor.

Confidentiality until Launch: The platform allows IoT developers and organizations to maintain project confidentiality until they are ready to launch. It ensures that sensitive information about IoT projects is kept confidential and secure, providing peace of mind during the development and testing phases, according to the vendor.
