Arm integrates GlobalSign with Mbed for flexible secure authentication of IoT devices
Published2018.04.24 15:23To realize Arm's vision of a world with one trillion connected devices, the industry needs more than just designing the most efficient and secure semiconductors.
It must make it easier to safely develop, deploy, and manage IoT devices throughout their lifecycle. This enables enterprises to leverage the opportunities that IoT data provides and combine it with business data to create valuable business outcomes.
Additionally, an ecosystem that continues to grow with participation from approximately 80 partners, including IBM which connects Mbed Cloud with IBM Watson IoT Platform, also supports the Mbed platform. Today, we have integrated Mbed Cloud with Cybertrust and GlobalSign to provide more flexible secure authentication for IoT devices.
This integration represents just the latest example of how Arm is stepping up to address challenges enterprises face as IoT characteristics evolve and are implemented at scale. These challenges include vendor fragmentation, diverse hosting requirements due to device types, IoT environments, and regulatory constraints.
According to the Uptime Institute, approximately 65% of enterprise workloads continue to remain in on-premises data centers. This means enterprises require support not only for public and private cloud integration but also for on-premises deployment solutions.
Mbed Cloud and Mbed Cloud On Premise were designed with these expectations in mind, providing the powerful device management, connectivity, and provisioning customers desire while supporting public/private cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments across all conditions. Enterprises can combine robust security with scalability and simplicity to manage their entire IoT environment regardless of deployment method.
IoT security should be easy to implement. IoT security should not make things more complicated. Arm newly integrates Mbed Cloud with Cybertrust and GlobalSign, enabling customers to utilize public key infrastructure already in use for flexible and secure IoT authentication using the BYOC (Bring-Your-Own-Certificate) approach. Security must be included in the development phase. For this reason, Arm plans to develop Mbed OS, a free open-source development platform that is the first OS to support PSA-compliant trusted boot, storage, and opaque encryption.
However, even with built-in security features, software updates are often necessary to maintain a strong security posture. When millions of devices are deployed in the field, updating each one individually is challenging. Through expanded integration with IBM Watson IoT Platform, Arm provides users with the capability to remotely manage, provision, and perform firmware updates on IoT devices through Mbed Cloud.
As enterprises move toward Industry 4.0, characterized by automation and smart manufacturing, the ability to efficiently manage devices during IoT deployment can make a significant difference. Arm Mbed removes barriers hindering IoT adoption, enabling enterprises to establish a unique position. Arm Mbed provides these enterprises with the conditions to enter new markets, deliver greater value to end users, and realize the potential of industrial IoT.
Examples of Arm creating opportunities for customers can be found in cases such as GMO Cloud and Alphatronics, a waste management company based in Belgium that safely and easily connected its existing infrastructure to IoT.

Arm Announces SoC Solution for Developing Secure IoT Devices
Arm has announced the Arm SDK-700 System Design Kit, a new IoT solution that supports fast and secure SoC design and time-to-market. The solution is built on the principles of Platform Security Architecture (PSA) and provides a secure SoC framework foundation for Microsoft Azure Sphere. PSA is built on four core principles comprised of device identity, trusted boot process, secure OTA updates, and certificate-based authentication, and has already gained significant momentum with support from several industry leaders. However, SoC design remains complex, and addressing this can take years. This is a challenge that impedes IoT growth, which can only be achieved when designers are able to bring products to market quickly and securely.

SalePoint Signs Multi-Year Partnership Agreement with AWS… Promoting Identity Security that Integrates Even AI Agents
Sailpoint has entered into a multi-year strategic partnership agreement with AWS and is moving forward with establishing an integrated governance system that manages both human and non-human identities together. The plan is to consistently manage access permissions in an environment where AI agents are increasing as work execution entities, while applying the principle of least privilege and automated policy enforcement. The two companies plan to jointly expand capabilities to manage the identities of various entities, including AI agents, within a single layer in the AWS environment. This collaboration is interpreted as a move to design security and governance together in corporate environments where AI adoption is expanding.
