Home and Consumer IoT
Security Solutions
Protect private data and home networks while preventing unauthorized access using PKI-based security solutions for consumer IoT devices.
REQUEST A CONSULTATIONWhy Consumer IoT Products Need Security
Home IoT products offer many conveniences but there are massive amounts of private consumer data being transferred to and from these services vulnerable to attack if left unsecured. Security across an entire IoT home demands proper device authentication and data encryption to ensure that all connections are trusted and communications are protected.
How to Secure Home and Consumer IoT
Properly implemented Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) creates a foundation for systems, devices, applications, and users to interact safely with consumer IoT products. A PKI IoT security solution establishes identity before secure connections are made and encrypts communications that are sent.
Authentication
Certificates for devices validate identities to make sure only authorized users, messages, or other types of servers have access to the device.
Encryption
A certificate creates an encrypted link and allows information to be transmitted privately.
Integrity
Certificates make sure that any messages or data transferred to and from “things” are not altered.
PKI Addresses Common IoT Security Challenges
Electrical engineers, software engineers, and manufacturers are just some of the roles tasked with the important job of deciding the best way to secure data in an IoT ecosystem.
Using the DigiCert Cloud PKI service and with knowledge from our PKI engineers, we can help you design a customized solution, implement it on your desired timeline, and succeed from the start.
