Adesto, IBM and NXP Demonstrate Robust End-to-End Security for Industrial IoT
April 25 2019 - 12:00PM
Adesto® Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: IOTS), IBM (NYSE: IBM)
and NXP® Semiconductors (NASDAQ: NXPI) are demonstrating a powerful
solution that provides a new level of security for smart building
and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) deployments. Adesto's
SmartServer™ IoT edge server and the IBM Watson IoT Platform,
together enabled by NXP’s ready-to-use A71CH secure element for IoT
devices, provide an extra layer of security for businesses
connecting their systems securely to the IBM Cloud.
IBM Watson IoT Platform is a managed, cloud-hosted service
designed to enable companies to quickly connect and derive value
from their IoT devices. It enables organizations to capture and
explore data for devices, equipment, and machines, and discover
insights that can drive better decision-making. Adesto’s open,
extensible SmartServer IoT simplifies the complexities of
interoperability between the diverse set of legacy systems,
disparate devices, and the numerous emerging and traditional
protocols in industrial and building automation to enable seamless
and secure access to data. It provides built-in device and data
management for sensors, meters, actuators and controllers through a
growing range of protocols including BACnet, LonWorks™ and
Modbus.
NXP's A71CH that is ‘ready for IBM Watson IoT’ is an
off-the-shelf solution that provides a root of trust (RoT) at the
chip level and delivers chip-to-cloud security right out of the
box. Through integration with Adesto’s SmartServer IoT, it enables
customers with additional security when connecting their buildings
to IBM’s Watson IoT Platform without exposing keys for the lifetime
of a device.
“While the IoT holds great promise, the connectivity of
everything also creates significant vulnerabilities. Connected
devices are potential targets for unauthorized network access,
malicious control, and data theft,” said Philippe Dubois, vice
president and general manager of IoT security at NXP
Semiconductors. “We believe that IoT security must be
silicon-based, and easy to implement. With the A71CH Plug &
Trust Secure Element, we’re making it simple for customers to
securely connect a plurality of air-gapped devices into the IBM
public cloud.”
“IBM Watson IoT enables customers to maximize the value of their
physical assets,” said Sanjay Tripathi, VP of strategy and business
development, IBM IoT. “We are continuing to grow the ecosystem of
enabling technologies around this platform to provide even greater
value. By working with NXP to ensure its A71CH secure element is
pre-loaded with the certificates needed to connect to IBM Watson
IoT, we’re helping customers streamline their chip-to-cloud
security and device onboarding. We are also working with Adesto to
provide the critical connection from our customers’ industrial data
to our platform. Through these relationships, we’re letting
customers concentrate more fully on extracting the business value
from their data.”
“Adesto is focused on making it easy for our industrial IoT
customers to embrace their legacy environments, extend their edge
devices with emerging technologies and enhance their solutions
through deep insights from cloud analytics platforms like IBM
Cloud,” said Sohrab Modi, chief strategy officer, Adesto. “Our
SmartServer IoT provides the key that lets customers unlock their
industrial data. NXP’s security solution adds the desired level of
security and comfort for customers to adopt public clouds and
benefit from the IBM Watson IoT Platform. We look forward to
continuing our collaboration with IBM and NXP to make this exciting
combined solution available to customers.”
NXP’s A71CH Plug & Trust Secure Element that is ‘ready for
IBM Watson IoT’ features X.509 certificates and keys trusted by
Watson IoT Platform and injected at NXP secure certified
facilities. NXP’s trust provisioning service ensures keys are kept
safe, and credentials are injected in a trusted environment. When
embedded into devices, the chips have the necessary keys to
establish a secure TLS connection with IBM Watson IoT enabling
seamless device-to-cloud connections.
Demonstration at IBM IoT ExchangeThe three
companies will be highlighting the joint solution at the IBM IoT
Exchange today in Orlando Florida.
