DigiCert launches Device Trust Manager to secure IoT devices

DigiCert has introduced a new solution called Device Trust Manager, aimed at enhancing security for Internet of Things (IoT) devices throughout their lifecycle. This initiative seeks to address the pressing demands of device manufacturers for a comprehensive, scalable method to secure IoT devices, manage intricate compliance requirements, and maintain operational and device integrity amidst an increasing array of threats.

With a projected growth of 55.7 billion connected devices by 2025, covering areas such as consumer electronics, healthcare equipment, and industrial systems, the complexity and diversity of the threat landscape are escalating. The vast interconnected ecosystem complicates compliance issues as organisations grapple with stringent security standards and regulations across different device types, environments, and international borders. Organisations require a robust, comprehensive approach to managing and securing this extensive array of devices at various lifecycle stages while ensuring data safety, privacy, and operational continuity.

Deepika Chauhan, Chief Product Officer at DigiCert, said, "With Device Trust Manager, DigiCert is reinforcing its commitment to digital trust in the rapidly expanding IoT landscape. We're excited to introduce this integrated platform to new and existing customers, transforming IoT device security with comprehensive protection throughout the device lifecycle. Device Trust Manager checks all the IoT boxes, except the one labelled 'Ship and Pray.'"

Device Trust Manager ensures comprehensive security throughout the IoT device lifecycle, from inception to decommissioning. It prioritises compliance with international regulations while enhancing operational efficiency. Enhanced Compliance simplifies adherence to regulations through detailed Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs), real-time monitoring, and secure provisioning. Automation expedites deployment with features like over-the-air (OTA) updates and zero-touch provisioning.

The solution also focuses on Risk Mitigation, bolstering anomaly detection to prevent downtime and data breaches. Scalable Security enables seamless adaptation to deployments of varying sizes and complexities, ensuring robust security standards across device ecosystems. Device Trust Manager is a versatile security solution that safeguards IoT initiatives while promoting efficiency and compliance.

Sam Gabbay, President of TUO Accessories, commented on DigiCert's latest solution, "The latest solution from DigiCert, built upon the already impressive DigiCert One platform, shows continued innovation. Once again, DigiCert is leading the way by showing leadership, commitment to IoT security and especially their customer experience by thinking 10 steps ahead for them. I am proud to be a DigiCert customer and am excited to use Device Trust Manager, which shows promise to improve an already streamlined workflow."
