some webinar notes:
Jeff (Microsoft): Azure Marketplace (AM): apply KeyScaler (KS) to AM, across 2 storefronts
AM = databases, security & IoT developers. Cloud-based solutions
MS AppSource: Business solutions & needs. Maunfacturing, retail and healthcare.
So any client/IoT developer ordering the use of KS on AM, that cost is simply added to their existing MS bill.
Nirmal Misra (DA):
Key challenges:
It takes a long time, say clients & IoT colleagues, to launch a strong IoT project
Complexity of IoT security is a minefield
Security is often as an afterthought
Needed: quick implementation of strong device security
KS is a IoT IAM platform for IoT devices at scale
for MS IoT Hub/Central/Edge
1 Azure Marketplace (AM)
IoT security
Nirmal: Deploy KS in Azure Cloud
and automatically into your Microsoft subscription
Run the KS service
Configure the IoT Gateway/device
Configure KS. Device registration & certificates
Authentication & register the device via KS
Certificate provisioning
Live Demo:
Click on 'Get it now' (KS)
Deploy straight into the Azure infrastructure
Adjust some workload environment settings
Click on: Create Virtual machine
Message: Deployment underway
Click on 'Go to Resource'
Start KS service (DFACTOR)
Now on Gateway (check library & config files)
Configure a CA (choose a certificate authority from a dropdown list)
Manage Device Group. Manage Devices.
Select a Provisioning policy
Create a Provisioning Record
Provisioning happens
You can use an automated batch file next, this brings you to 'Process Asset' (certificate is now linked & delivered to the device)
Key goals
Speed up IoT deployments using KS in Azure
Strong end-to-end device security
Mitigate the complexity of IoT security
Implement security from the start for maximum cost benefits (right from the start)
Q&A
on the Demand for IoT security:
Jeff answers:
Yes, there is tremendous momentum. There are 8000 listings.. Publishers of solutions .. millions of visitors per month at the storefront.
We're seeing growth in IoT security/connectivity/analytics
on ensuring secure data transfer to the IoT device
Nirmal answers:
To ensure that, choose a security encryption policy in KS, assuming there is no HSM involved.
question about how is a private key stored on an IoT device?
Nirmal answers: secure key storage on the device via the KS agent
any requirements to use this as a MS-partner?
Jeff answers:
the MS partner must use Azure
Clients can publish a solution and market it on AM.
In conclusion:
As other posters have just commented:

KS solves the complexity of IoT,
they must be worth an absolute fortune....
