Quadrant Knowledge Solutions announced today that it has named Device Authority, a leading provider of device-centric IoT IAM platform KeyScaler, as the 2020 technology leader in the SPARK Matrix analysis of the global IoT Identity and Access Management (IoT IAM) market.
Quadrant Knowledge Solutions SPARK Matrix evaluation examined Device Authority and ten other vendors by evaluating the company’s product portfolios, technology strategies, market presence, and customer value proposition. Quadrant Knowledge Solutions’ SPARK Matrix provides a snapshot of key market participants and a visual representation of their positioning, along with strategic insights on how each vendor participant ranks related to its competitors along several axis representing a range of performance parameters coinciding with technology excellence and customer impact.
IoT Identity & Access Management (IoT IAM) market consists of vendors that offer a scalable solution for deploying and managing security keys and certificates to enable device identity and integrity to be cryptographically proven and validated throughout its lifecycle. Securing IoT devices require a purpose-built device-centric IAM solution as traditional employee-centric IAM or customer IAM (CIAM) solutions are not capable of addressing IoT-specific challenges. A purpose-built IoT IAM solution capabilities, include massive scalability & availability to handle a wide variety and volume of IoT devices, secure device registration & provisioning, end-to-end data encryption, device authentication, compliance management, and centralized policy management.
Driven by the impact of Covid-19, the global economy, along with industries, is facing significant challenges and negative growth. While Covid-19 has impacted the market for overall digital transformation projects and associated IoT security solution, the overall growth outlook looks promising for IoT IAM market. Despite the economic recession and negative impact on technology investments, the IoT IAM market is expected to continue its growth momentum in 2020, and during the forecasted years of 2020-2025. However, the forecasted growth rate for the year 2020 is significantly lower than our last year forecast for the same year. Quadrant analysts believe that from the year 2021 onwards, the technology investments will rise again mainly driven by the pent-up demand and economic recovery for the key industrial, energy, automotive, healthcare, connected cities and infrastructure market.
The primary drivers for the IoT IAM market growth include continued emphasis and investments on digital transformation projects across industry sectors and geographical regions; increasing frequency of IoT-specific cybersecurity attacks, including DDoS, malware, spoofing, data breach, and others; growing confidence of purpose-built IoT IAM solutions with multiple successful demonstrations through pilot projects as well as full-scale deployments; cont
That new MS Azure/DA note is cramful of content
A masterpiece
some highlights:
Even 'Sphere' is mentioned (the great Azure Sphere)?
Enhanced security offering for Microsoft Azure: An end-to-end solution, beyond what Azure already
provides.
What makes KeyScaler unique and a perfect companion for
Azure IoT?
KeyScaler delivers automation for critical credential management processes, in addition to tokenized
access control, and policy-based encryption for data, in transit and at rest. In doing so, KeyScaler is
uniquely addressing the challenges of device trust, data trust, and operational efficiency at IoT scale
- things that are not currently addressed by any existing solution. It can be deployed quickly (hours,
compared to multiple days for similar systems, which often require teams of bespoke developers), used
on-premise, SaaS, using traditional VM based servers, or deployed using Docker, and is truly scalable.
• KeyScaler platform architecture is supported by 13 issued patents.
Device Authority has developed this IoT security solution reference architecture for Azure, and it
has been implemented for number of mission critical enterprise IoT use cases, including Healthcare /
Medical Devices, Industrial IoT and Automotive / Connected Car. Many System Integrators support the
requirement for an IoT IAM platform which provides the glue to extend security from the Enterprise to IoT
devices. Device Authority delivers IAM 2.0 for IoT that is an integral part of IoT Platforms like Azure IoT.

Looks like the icing on the cake....
Can MS automate IoT provisioning, at scale, without KS? I think not....

I spoke this morning with a manager in NHS Highland, I have listened back to the recording and made the following summary of the conversation. Apologies for the inclusion of things we already know:-
Wyld can geo-fence at multiple levels - individual, room, building
A trial about to start (the app is recently finished) in a care home in Inverness is to query people as they approach the care home (who are they, why are they there, etc.), but this level of mgmt is also available inside the home (schedules for certain people to enter at certain times, alarms for certain rooms)
A hand sanitizer monitoring trial is currently ongoing
It was noted that the government database in covid cases was lagging behind, it was loosely implied that this was holding back the effectiveness of any tech use
Initial trial that was held with care home in Inverness was with a chain, they are now thinking about rolling out to all homes (number undisclosed)
The reason they haven't immediately jumped on the tech is that they need a whole solution for this and there are many different requirements. NHS Highland is the largest sector of the NHS and has many remote areas that raise their own unique issues and requirements.
Wyld and HHVL have collaborated locally and they are about to introduce a sensor that is put in to the care home, the home chooses the functionality - what is reported, who manages it, etc. They are currently tweaking the app, it will be put in this month to run a trial. They know the tech works but it has to be trialled because it's a care home setting.
The Scottish government are interested (this is a verbatim quote, but my interpretation of this is that given the tech is proven and the urgency is optimum, it's only a matter of waiting for confirmation of uptake and the inevitable follow on custom)
They are waiting for the 2nd wave, they know it's coming and this time it will hit with the winter flu. They have done this for covid but it can be used to manage anything you want it to, without being too intrusive but giving reassurance. They are positive about it because they think the NHS can hook up a bunch of other things to it and make management of NHS and care homes much more robust.
Results of trials should be out on a few months, the tech is out there so it's just a case of getting some evidence to take it to other care homes
Hope you do well but the sole reason for the soft price is that there are still placing shares to get rid of and the MM knows it so is dropping the price to encourage buyers When they are gone price will recover am looking at adding Thursday/Wednesday when I get some new funds in around £30k so about 400k shares
Fake news 2020 link took me to a page of last years winners apologies to all, winners will be announced in November
VR Healthcare of the Year
Winner: Fundamental Surgery
VR Healthcare of the Year recognises projects that are changing the landscape of healthcare industries for good, awarding both B2B and B2C solutions that can demonstrate a clear impact and understanding of the market.
LONDON – July 6th – Today, FundamentalVR, pioneers of immersive HapticVRTM training technology, which combines virtual reality (VR) with haptics (sense of touch), has announced the company has received centre accreditation from the Royal College of Surgeons of England. The honor recognizes FundamentalVR as a leading organization that meets high standards for creating and implementing simulations that help surgeons, residents and students practice and improve their skills and performance.
Respected for its dedication to surgical education, training, assessment, examination and research, the Royal College of Surgeons of England established the centre accreditation to provide a kite mark of quality that has been adopted by many leading organizations that develop world-class surgical education courses, solutions and platforms. Organizations that receive accreditation have met criteria set by the Royal College of Surgeons of England that prove a superior level of commitment to Surgical Education and Training. Once an organization receives accreditation, they continue to participate in annual audits by the Royal College of Surgeons of England to ensure their education portfolio relating to their innovations continue to fulfil the established requirements.
“At the Royal College of Surgeons of England we are always looking to recognise providers that employ innovative training methods.” said a member of the RCS Quality Assurance Team. “We are pleased to award Fundamental Surgery with Centre Accreditation and look forward to working with them to continue to advance surgical education, training and ultimately patient care.”
Since its infancy, FundamentalVR has been dedicated to democratizing surgical simulation training through its cutting-edge, multimodal, educational platform, Fundamental Surgery. To show its commitment to developing immersive training solutions, the company has established several teams of renowned experts including its in-house medical education team, its Global Medical Panel and several discipline specific panels of surgeons, who all oversee the review of simulations. Additionally, the company created a multisensory surgical task analysis process, along with a professional quality enhancement process, which underpins the design of all new simulations. These dedicated teams and procedures led the company to receive centre accreditation.
This accreditation news follows Fundamental Surgery‘s entire current portfolio of orthopaedic surgical training simulations receiving Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accreditation by the Royal College of Surgeons of England in late 2019. To maintain professional standards, surgeons must accrue 50 CPD points a year. CPD accreditation confirmed Fundamental Surgery’s simulations are activities that demonstrate sufficient educational value to contribute to the CPD for which 6 CPD points can be claimed. Fundamental Surgery’s range of orthopaedic simulations were also accredited by th
