Helping to drive 5G network transformation

Today’s telecommunication organizations face a variety of similar transformation challenges as they migrate to 5G using cloud data centers. Many are moving from primarily physical environments with primitive authentication techniques, minimal use of cryptography and pre-shared keys. These traditional infrastructures are capital-intensive to scale, inefficient and inflexible, slowing delivery of new services and time to market. Increasingly, they are moving toward more dynamic business models built around a DevOps mindset. These 5G and cloud environments are virtualized, dynamically scalable and enable unparalleled business agility and smooth scalability.

To support their transformation and enable more rapid time-to-market for products, telecommunication providers require a platform designed for today’s highly dynamic, cloud-native, modern business models. The platform must provide strong authentication across on-premises and cloud environments, and the ability to perform at scale on the world’s largest networks. It needs to ensure operational integrity to help organizations meet compliance requirements and legal mandates. 

IoT Device Manager on DigiCert ONE is built from the ground up to support transformative new models. It delivers:

• Robust IoT security, establishing a root of trust through PKI for authentication, encryption and data integrity. A simple identity management tool, it lets organizations assign and manage device identity in large or small volumes at any stage of the lifecycle, operating with total visibility over certificates issued to devices. 
• Scalability for 5G and cloud environments, with support for a variety of certificate management protocols, including RESTful API, EST, CMPv2 and EST.
• Support for broad operational integrity to meet compliance requirements and legal mandates. Utilizing metadata, IoT Device Manager enables a broader integration of tools that previously had been unable to share information and integrate smoothly with one another. By bringing together a diverse array of data from a variety of sources, it enables organizations to gain additional insight and value to support device management.
