Device Authority has recently surpassed a significant milestone with its cloud-native platform, KeyScaler as a Service (KSaaS), now managing over 11 million machine identity authentications across 49 countries. This achievement showcases the rising demand for scalable and automated security solutions, particularly for IoT and AI devices in today’s increasingly interconnected world. The platform eliminates the need for time-consuming manual processes, freeing up substantial resources for IT teams. Without such automation, these teams would face an immense workload, consuming thousands of hours that would be unfeasible on a large scale. By automating identity management, KSaaS ensures regular, secure authentication of IoT devices, protecting critical infrastructure and sensitive data across a diverse range of industries.
Darron Antill, CEO of Device Authority, remarked on this milestone, stating that it reflects the company’s robust global growth. He emphasised that Device Authority is fulfilling its mission to deliver innovative identity-based security solutions, particularly for the vast and complex networks that define today’s digital landscape. With KeyScaler, organisations can automate zero-trust security across both IT and OT networks, enabling continuous device authentication and offering protection against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
This recent achievement builds on Device Authority’s ongoing commitment to secure next-generation technologies. Earlier in the year, the company launched KeyScaler AI, offering tailored protection for AI-driven IoT environments such as smart cities and intelligent video surveillance systems. Another significant addition was the KeyScaler Connected Factory Software Bundle, developed to meet the specific needs of industrial IoT systems.
The growing importance of machine identities is underscored by the latest 2024 CyberArk Identity Security Threat Landscape Report. It predicts a substantial increase in the number of machine identities in the coming year. With these identities gaining more access to sensitive data, businesses are under increasing pressure to strengthen their security measures. The report highlighted that 93% of organisations have experienced multiple identity-related breaches, making enhanced device security a critical priority for many companies.
KSaaS is available through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, offering an infrastructure-free alternative to the on-premise KeyScaler platform. Its appeal lies in its ability to support IoT networks, AI applications, edge computing, and global supply chains. The platform enables one-click deployment of public key infrastructure (PKI) services, and automates the management of device identities, helping businesses comply with regulatory requirements such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act and US Executive Order 14028.
In recognition of its performance, Device Authority received the Rising Azure Technology 2023 Microsoft Partner of the Year Award. This accolade acknowledges the company’s outstanding customer impact and its strategic use of Microsoft Azure as the primary cloud platform. KSaaS is increasingly seen as a breakthrough solution, offering greater flexibility in both procurement and deployment. It allows organisations to adopt fully-managed security solutions without the financial burden of maintaining costly infrastructure.
Device Authority’s KSaaS platform is not only proving to be a critical tool for managing the complex security needs of modern IoT and AI systems but is also setting the standard for future innovations in the industry.
