Building blocks for highly secure IoT applications

The core of the NTSecureCloudSolutions is a turnkey platform of certified secure hardware and software solutions with essential security functions such as e.g. certificate, policy and wireless device updating.

This includes IoT end devices (sensor nodes) and IoT gateways for the protected cloud connection, analysis and management tools as well as solutions for the functional safety when controlling devices, machines and systems. As needed, these devices and solutions are either available as standard products (out-of-the-box) or customer-specific developments.

Numerous services including consultation, training, operation and support complete the offer.

All components carry hardware-based security elements to provide both state of the art bidirectional authentication and cryptography capabilities. This allows not only for data acquisition but also for controlling and steering applications.

All components feature

• Protected key and certificate storage
• Individual provisioning for multiple project-specific CAs
• Hardware support for symmetric and asymmetric authentication and encryption functionality

Customer benefits

• Transform data into profi table intelligence
• Faster development of operational systems
• Devices and services rolled into one and from one place
• Security as a priority
• Support through the whole life-cycle
