Three of these orders resulted from the Microsoft and Wipro partner channels, as the relationships with partners continues to develop as planned. This includes engagement with the Microsoft Azure IoT, Sphere and Edge teams, as the requirement to simplify, and automate, the provisioning and security of IoT devices, networks and data at scale continues to be a market challenge. Although the partner channel has taken time and investment to develop, indications are that this strategy is starting to deliver the intended customer outcomes. As a result, Device Authority expects this channel momentum for KeyScaler to continue in 2021, as the requirement for automating IoT life cycle management continues to develop as a 'must have' in its focus sectors of automotive, IIoT (industrial) and IoMT (healthcare).
Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a new wave of cybercriminal opportunists at an unprecedented speed and scale, and the adoption of security technology continues to rise steadily to meet this demand. In particular, the past year has seen increased usage of telemedicine and the deployment of medical and healthcare devices. As IoT device adoption increases, protecting the full lifecycle management of devices and data, both on and off network, becomes more challenging, and creates demand for solutions such as Device Authority's KeyScaler, which become integral components of successful cybersecurity strategies.
Device Authority is taking a leadership position in addressing this expanded threat and will conduct a virtual IoT Security Summit in February 2021. This two-day event will include industry experts speaking across the healthcare, IoMT / medical devices, IIoT and automotive sectors, from leading global security and consultancy companies, including: Venafi, Wipro, Imagination Technology, Entrust, EPS Global and Intrinsic ID. Device Authority's expertise and market leadership, coupled with these key opinion leaders, should make this a compelling event for anyone deploying foundational IoT cybersecurity strategies.
