Situation
A major energy corporation required a cloud platform to secure and manage devices connected to its critical infrastructure.
Sensors collected and transmited data via IoT Edge gateways in real-time to the cloud to automate the operations of oil rigs and refineries, reporting important telemetry data such as pressure, temperature, leakage, and potential intrusion.
These devices required a strong root of trust and automated identity lifecycle management to secure communications to/ from the cloud over time.
Solution
Device Authority KeyScaler was used to provide:
- Identity Lifecycle Management for Azure IoT Edge Gateways and leaf devices.
- Seamless Integration with enterprise PKI services
- Zero touch Automated Device provisioning using X.509 certificates to DPS/ IoT Hub.
- Generation of device root of trust using DDKG
