Mocana
Adding another layer of protection to control devices
This company has launched Mocana TrustCenter (photo), a new services platform that allows manufacturers and operators of Internet of Things and Industrial Control Systems (ICS/IoT) devices to securely enroll and update them. With TrustCenter, Mocana can automatically manage secure updates of software, hardware and firmware on millions of IoT/ICS devices in seconds, preventing compromises and any malware compromises. This solution aims to not only find vulnerabilities and resolve them with traditional IT security solutions, but also to protect the software and firmware and all components on these devices against cybersecurity threats, using strong authentication and cryptography to verify that the device and software updates are secure. The new services platform complements the company’s TrustPoint IoT endpoint security software, which already protects more than 100 million devices today, says the company. The new automated platform can be deployed “on bare metal,” or via private cloud or public cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), and ensures the trustworthiness of both the device and the data from end to end, says the company. — Mocana Corp., San Francisco, Calif.
