u-blox now offers the IoT certificate manager, a new security service that constantly renews device credentials in a completely automated mode. Together with its existing zero touch provisioning service, it offers out-of-the-box on-boarding to IoT cloud platforms with total control of the device certificate lifecycle.
Certificate lifecycle control targets IoT devices that combine with leading IoT cloud platforms, including the AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, and DPS services. While these take charge of device management and data aggregation, the company's service delivers an effortless, secure, and cost-effective way to manage the X.509 certificates needed for device authentication.
Its new IoT certificate manager eliminates manually managing credential renewal on thousands of devices. Developed and optimised for IoT scenarios, it eradicates errors through manual operation on large IoT deployments, releasing resources for other activities. Delivery through the intuitive Thingstream IoT service delivery platform with its simple and flexible price plans allows users engage more efficiently and lower time to market.
The IoT certificate manager futureproofs protection by improving security levels over the whole device lifetime. Building on the root of trust included in its SARA-R5 series LTE-M cellular modems, it offers a fully integrated silicon-to-cloud security solution that is unmatched in the industry.
"IoT certificate manager is all about enabling IoT solution developers to easily manage device credentials for an IoT lifetime, to scale seamlessly from prototyping to huge fleets, and to minimise set-up costs, giving companies more time and resources to grow their business," says Giovanni Solito, senior product manager, Product Center Services, at u-blox.
