Managing Identities and Data Security Vital for Industrial IoT

Today, digital businesses are striving to create business models that turn stand-alone products into highly interactive and connected services, but are faced with a variety of challenges ranging from complicated integrations and extended deployment timelines to mitigating safety and privacy concerns.

Entrust Datacard, a provider of trusted identity and secure transaction technology solutions, recently announced its new ioTrust security solution. The idea is to deliver a secure and trusted digital infrastructure that safeguards data between devices, sensors, and backend platforms connected within an Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. By applying digital identities managed using definable policies, the new platform allows companies to create the trusted products and experiences that new production environments demand.

“Unlike existing solutions that have been simply repurposed from IT environments, Entrust Datacard has spent several years working with customers and ecosystem partners to design a solution that recognizes the unique needs of IoT environments and incorporates sound security practices. We’ve created a solution that allows organizations to enhance their service offerings, improve the user experience and enable new business models while leveraging a trusted infrastructure.”- Josh Jabs, vice president of PKI and IoT for Entrust Datacard
