NXP launches flexible IoT cloud platform for secure management and connectivity of edge devices

     NXP Semiconductors N.V., a global provider of secure Internet of Things (IoT) embedded solutions to customers in a broad range of market application areas, has introduced a new EdgeLock 2GO IoT service platform for simple, secure deployment and Manage IoT devices and services. New IoT security platform integrated with Common Criteria (CC) EAL 6+ certified NXP EdgeLock SE050 security chip designed to protect IoT devices at the edge and securely connect them to one or more clouds and services provider.

     Philippe Dubois, vice president and general manager of the Secure Edge Identification Division at NXP Semiconductors, said: "EdgeLock 2GO offers customers a complete range of options to not only optimize the costs associated with credential and device management, but also for companies working in the IoT space. Advanced device security. This platform provides a highly flexible approach to IoT security that protects edge devices connected to services and maintains edge device security throughout its lifecycle.”

     The EdgeLock 2GO platform, combined with the NXP EdgeLock SE050 embedded security chip for advanced key protection and management, provides end-to-end security from chip to cloud based on a certified trust anchor. EdgeLock SE050 facilitates easy implementation of advanced security features, while EdgeLock 2GO simplifies secure cloud access and access to IoT devices from different service providers. It also simplifies application credential management with zero-touch connectivity to public and private clouds, edge computing platforms and infrastructure. NXP combines security chip hardware with EdgeLock 2GO service, enabling security management independent of device manufacturers and supply chain.

     EdgeLock 2GO is designed to help device manufacturers and service providers easily onboard or move their devices to the cloud. It provides customers with customized options to enroll their devices on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using multi-account enrollment, instant provisioning, and instant enrollment. NXP's webinar in partnership with AWS (click to play) provides an in-depth look at how the combination of the EdgeLock SE050 and EdgeLock 2GO simplifies the process of connecting devices to AWS IoT Core.

     EdgeLock 2GO supports multiple types of credentials and any IoT device from sensors to edge computing platforms, enabling customization options for device rollout. The final stage of equipment configuration can be flexibly carried out in the field, thus speeding up the time to market. It also enables device manufacturers and service providers to dynamically connect their IoT devices to multiple clouds and service providers.

     Many IoT devices can be used in the field for up to several years, but device manufacturers and service providers need to maintain an up-to-date security status throughout the life of the device. With EdgeLock 2GO, device manufacturers do not have to deal with keys or certificates, so they can easily maintain IoT device security in the field, as well as update, revoke or add new device credentials. As a result, the difficulty is greatly reduced when there is a need to manage a large number of IoT devices connected to multiple cloud services.

     "Ease of use, flexibility, and security are the cornerstones of device management in Microsoft Azure IoT Hub, enabling a high degree of security and security between IoT applications and the devices they manage," said Kristin Carr, general manager of Microsoft Azure IoT Platform Engineering. Reliable communication. EdgeLock 2GO simplifies the process of registering IoT devices to the Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service (DPS), reducing the overhead of device identity management.”
