Sectigo, one of the leading providers of automated digital identity management and web security solutions, has made several advancements to the company’s award-winning IoT Security & Identity Management Platform, making it even easier for OEMs and businesses to integrate and manage secure connected devices
The innovations include the PKI Client Software Development Kit (SDK) for Sectigo IoT Manager and Secure Boot SDK, which eases development efforts and reduces market time for manufacturers across industries.
“No other platform makes it as easy to ensure that connected devices are authenticated and to maintain reliable security from initial production on the assembly line, through installation and operation, until final decommissioning. The integrity of connected endpoints in healthcare, transportation, energy, financial services, and smart city sectors, our critical infrastructure, depend on it,” explained Alan Grau, vice-president of IoT/Embedded Solutions, Sectigo.
The Sectigo IoT Security Platform delivers end-to-end security services for all types of connected devices, from manufacturing to life, enabling OEMs to build secure devices that comply with safety standards and new IoT safety regulations. Best-practice features, a myriad of technology integrations, and a single glass management panel empower companies to protect their IoT infrastructure in a scalable, cost-effective, and easy-to-manage manner.
In addition, Sectigo’s IoT Identity platform leverages the infrastructure used to issue public certificates, providing IoT OEMs with the same high level of security that is provided to the public.
