Landmark milestone for Microsoft’s Rising Azure Technology 2023 Microsoft Partner of the Year Award winner, highlights growth and innovation in global IoT and AI security

London, UK – 15th October 2024 Device Authority has reached a significant milestone with its cloud-native platform, KeyScaler as a Service (KSaaS), now exceeding 11 million machine identity authentications across 49 countries. This achievement highlights the growing demand for scalable, automated security solutions for IoT and AI devices in an increasingly connected world.

KSaaS removes the complexities and time-consuming manual processes that would otherwise require thousands of hours from IT teams, an amount of time that simply isn’t feasible at scale. The platform’s automated identity management ensures secure, regular authentication for IoT devices, supporting organisations from 49 countries across multiple industries in their efforts to protect critical infrastructure and sensitive data.

Device Authority CEO Darron Antill commented: “This KSaaS milestone demonstrates that Device Authority is on a strong growth path globally. We are delivering on our promise to provide innovative, identity-based security at the scale required by today’s increasingly interconnected networks. With KeyScaler, organisations can automate zero trust security across vast IT and OT networks, ensuring continuous device authentication and protection against sophisticated cyber threats.”

KSaaS builds on Device Authority’s commitment to providing security for next-generation technologies. Earlier this year, the company launched KeyScaler AI, delivering customised protection for AI-driven IoT environments, such as smart cities and intelligent video surveillance. The company also introduced the KeyScaler Connected Factory Software Bundle, designed to meet the specific needs of industrial IoT environments.

Device Authority’s growth and innovation position it at the forefront of IoT and AI security. The 2024 CyberArk Identity Security Threat Landscape Report predicts that the number of machine identities will more than double in the next year. With machine identities increasingly having access to sensitive data, businesses must strengthen device security. In fact, 93% of organisations surveyed by CyberArk have suffered two or more identity-related breaches.

KSaaS, available on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, offers an infrastructure-free alternative to Device Authority’s on-premise KeyScaler platform, making it a go-to solution for IoT networks, AI applications, edge computing, and global supply chains. With one-click deployment of public key infrastructure (PKI) services and policy-driven encryption, KSaaS automates the management of device identities at scale and helps organisations comply with regulatory frameworks such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act and US Executive Order 14028.

KSaaS’s performance has earned Device Authority the coveted Rising Azure Technology 2023 Microsoft Partner of the Year Award, recognising the company’s outstanding customer impact and use of Microsoft Azure as its primary cloud platform. This award further highlights KSaaS as a breakthrough in the market, providing customers with more choice in procurement and deployment options, and enabling fully-managed security solutions without the burden of costly infrastructure.

Ends.
