IdenTrust, (part of HID Global®), the leading trusted provider of
digital certificates, and Device Authority, a global leader in Identity
and Access Management (IAM) for the Internet of Things (IoT), today
announced a strategic alliance with a vision to provide trusted identity
lifecycle management for enterprises on their digital transformation
journey.
Device certificates have traditionally been used to secure routers,
firewalls, servers, and other devices capable of securely handling
private keys and implementing PKI technologies. However, in the new IoT
world, device certificates can be used to secure a wide range of
networked assets, such as ATM machines, medical devices, surveillance
cameras, industrial machines, refrigerators, vehicles and much more.
IdenTrust’s comprehensive identity-based digital certificate solutions
deliver assured individual and device identity for financial
institutions, healthcare providers, government agencies and enterprises
around the world. With over 5 million certificates in active production,
IdenTrust supports over 18 billion validations per year and is the
world’s leading digital Certification Authority.
Device Authority’s KeyScaler automation engine provides secure IoT
device registration and provisioning through an innovative policy-driven
credential delivery and management system that ensures certificates can
be easily rotated, renewed and managed without human intervention. The
platform is designed for swift integration and interoperability in
support of today’s rapidly expanding IoT application market.
Combining Device Authority’s KeyScaler platform capabilities with
IdenTrust’s trusted digital certificate solutions provides customers
with a complete IoT security solution that automates compliance,
minimizes costly manual intervention and manages risks in a diverse
industrial regulatory marketplace.
“The relationship between IdenTrust and Device Authority links our
trusted certificate authority with a seamless and scalable means to
efficiently manage the lifecycle of issued digital certificates in the
rapidly expanding IoT device market,” said Brad Jarvis, Vice
President and Managing Director of Identity & Access Management
Solutions (IAMS) with HID Global. “The combination simplifies the
process of enhancing device security and its administration for our
customers.”
“We’re delighted to be working with the IdenTrust team to provide device
and data trust for their customers embarking on their IoT journey. With
a mixed environment of devices emerging in healthcare, industrial, and
government sectors, the combined value delivered from both companies has
a strong positioning for physical, enterprise and IoT IAM customer
solutions,” said Darron Antill, CEO of Device Authority.
