u-blox has unveiled an IoT certificate manager, a new security service that will continuously renew device credentials in a fully automated mode.

Together with u-blox's existing zero touch provisioning service, the manager will provide an out-of-the-box on-boarding to IoT cloud platforms with total control of the device certificate lifecycle.
Certificate lifecycle control targets IoT devices that integrate with leading IoT cloud platforms including the AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, and DPS services. While these take charge of device management and data aggregation, the u-blox service provides a secure, and cost-effective way to manage the X.509 certificates required for device authentication.
X.509 certificates have become a cornerstone of IoT security. Secure provisioning requires extensive experience, complex software development, and robust production line tools and processes.
