MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Entrust
Datacard, a leading provider of trusted identity and secure
transaction technology solutions, today announced the introduction of
the Entrust Datacard ioTrust security solution. The solution delivers 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 through
definable policy — the ioTrust security solution allows companies to do
business in new ways and create the trusted products and experiences
that these environments demand.

Today, digital businesses are striving to create new 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. The ioTrust security solution is based on
enterprise-grade encryption technologies and leverages Entrust
Datacard’s 30 years of expertise in establishing identity-based, trusted
infrastructures for the world’s most secure environments. With
capabilities such as identity, authentication and authorization,
credential lifecycle management, and secure communications the ioTrust
security solution helps organizations securely connect the people,
applications and devices that power the connected world. The ioTrust
security solution speeds deployment timelines, allowing organizations to
more quickly realize business value in areas such as process
optimization and automation, supply chain visibility, and delivery of
new services. The Entrust Datacard ioTrust security solution is designed
to secure IoT data across a variety of industries including industrial
control systems, automotive, telecommunications and manufacturing supply
chains.

“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,” said Josh Jabs, vice president of PKI and IoT for Entrust
Datacard. “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.”

The ioTrust security solution provides a trusted Internet of Things by:

• Enabling a secure and trusted ecosystem of people, applications and
  things throughout the IoT value chain
• Providing greater visibility into the security of the supply-chain,
  spanning from device manufacturer to the final product
• Reducing time-to-market and total cost of ownership by helping
  organizations to develop solutions based on heterogeneous device
  categories and profiles
• Empowering organizations to leverage existing infrastructures and
  devices, while supporting new products and services without the need
  to “rip and replace”
• Facilitating the secure and timely delivery of data and outcomes
  generated by trusted people, applications and things to the
  value-creation engine
