Device Authority, a global leader in identity and access management (IAM) for IoT, has announced its strengthened commitment to supporting Managed Service Security Providers (MSSPs) as a key part of its North American growth strategy. By delivering scalable and automated solutions for securing IoT ecosystems, the company aims to empower MSSPs to meet the growing demand for robust IoT and OT security in an increasingly connected world.

With the rise of connected, unmanaged devices across industries, MSSPs face unprecedented challenges in managing security for complex, distributed environments. Device Authority’s new Discovery Tool & KeyScaler platform and cloud service  (KeyScaler-as-a-Service (KSaaS)) provides these partners with device visibility and the solutions to deliver automated device onboarding, authentication, and lifecycle management; enabling scalable solutions for improved cyber resilience for their enterprise customers. Its  free-to-use Discovery Tool also enables the discovery and visibility of all devices on an organisation’s network, something that many CISOs currently lack, and provides an instant vulnerability score with actionable insights to address vulnerabilities.

Darron Antill, CEO of Device Authority, commented:
“The MSSP market plays a critical role in securing IoT and OT environments. By partnering with MSSPs & MSPs, we can help them to enable their customers to adopt new IoT technologies or optimise the use of legacy devices without compromising security and provide complete visibility and control of those devices at scale . Our solutions are designed to help MSPs increase their value and address easily the unique challenges posed by IoT devices to their customers, through automation and scalability.”

To further support its strategic focus, Device Authority has strengthened its North American team with the appointment of Molly Marks as Senior Director, North America MSP Sales. Molly, who has over 25 years of experience in cybersecurity and extensive expertise in partner and channel management, will lead the company’s efforts to expand relationships with MSSPs and enhance their ability to secure IoT deployments.

Molly commented, “The opportunity for Device Authority to support MSSPs in the security of their customers’ connected operations is significant. Not only are device identities outnumbering human identities on company networks but the number of unmanaged  devices is growing at pace. I am excited to be able to work with MSSPs on a complete end to end solution that will not only enable the discovery of customers connected assets and vulnerabilities, but also provide complete visibility in a single pane, automated control of these devices at scale and a vastly improved security posture – all via scalable SaaS delivery. This is sure to help MSPs to simplify compliance, reduce operational complexity, build their ARR &  MRR  contracts, and protect their clients’ connected environments.”

The company’s investment in its team reflects its broader commitment to providing industry-leading solutions and expertise to MSPs and wider enterprise customers and comes on the back of several key customer wins across North America and Europe during 2024.
