The recently launched IoT certificate manager from u-blox is a new security service that continuously renews device credentials in a fully automated mode. Together with the company’s existing zero-touch provisioning service, it provides 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 integrate 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 u-blox service provides a secure and cost-effective way to manage the X.509 certificates required for device authentication.
X.509 certificates have become a cornerstone of IoT security, but secure provisioning requires extensive experience, complex software development, and robust production line tools and processes. Certificate management efforts grow exponentially with increasing fleet size. While, in the past, issued certificates remained valid throughout a device’s lifecycle, increases in infrastructure complexity and risks have forced regulatory authorities to demand more frequent (yearly or monthly) renewals. Failure to meet renewal deadlines can expose devices to cyber threats, disrupt service availability and undermine business.
u-blox’ new IoT certificate manager eliminates the task of manually managing credential renewal on thousands of devices. Designed and optimised for IoT scenarios, it eliminates the errors that can occur during manual operation on large IoT deployments, freeing up resources for other activities. Delivery via the intuitive Thingstream IoT service delivery platform, with its simple and flexible price plans, lets users engage more efficiently and reduce time to market.
The IoT certificate manager futureproofs protection by increasing security levels over the entire device lifetime. Building on the root of trust included in u-blox SARA-R5 series LTE-M cellular modems, it provides a fully integrated silicon-to-cloud security solution.
