Mocana Corporation announced a new partnership with Siemens Digital Industries Software to bring end-to-end security for any Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices connecting to the Siemens MindSphere Cloud. Mocana is a provider of self-defending cybersecurity solutions for IIoT devices that ensure that those devices function as designed and deliver accurate data. Siemens is the creator of MindSphere, a cloud based, open IoT operating system that enables companies to connect physical, web- and enterprise-based systems in one central location.
Scheduled for general availability in early 2020, Mocana is integrating TrustPoint, its on-device security software that protects IIoT endpoints, and TrustCenter, a security orchestration platform for managing the security lifecycle of these IIoT devices, with MindSphere. This reportedly will make any IIoT endpoint deployed with TrustPoint tamper-proof and will provide secure connectivity between the endpoint and Siemens MindConnect - a device for collecting data using different protocols that then transfers data securely to MindSphere.
This collaboration will further enhance Mocana's ability to address the security issues associated with industrial IoT.
