Secure IoT begins with Zero-Touch Provisioning at scale

An integrated chain-of-trust solution to address IoT security and device identity life cycle management from edge to cloud

The path to IoT Edge security and the secure deployment of IoT projects starts with an hardware root-of-trust at the device level, a simple concept that belies the complexity of managing a chain of trust that extends from every edge device to the core of the network.

To win the challenges of IoT security lifecycle management, Eurotech partnered up with GlobalSign, Infineon and Microsoft to provide an integrated solution for a zero touch provisioning service that goes from edge to cloud for certificates-based identity lifecycle management for connected devices. Partners offer an ready-to-use solution for a simpler, cost-effective cloud enrollment of IoT Edge devices.

IoT Edge security challenges

What's the largest roadblock to realizing the promise of the Internet of Things? For many organizations, the obstacle delaying widespread deployments in the strategy for onboarding the necessary edge resources for a lifetime of secure operation.

Proof-of-concept pilot systems comprised of dozens and even hundreds of nodes in a controlled setting are simply different than a full-scale rollout. And while we are well-served today by IoT platforms and a proven, cloud-accessed application infrastructure, the complex task of device onboarding remains a multi-domain problem by nature.

This paper presents such a solution, delivered by Infineon Technologies, GlobalSign, Eurotech and Microsoft.
