SEALSQ Corp. unveiled new upgrades to INeS, its Certificate Management Solution (CMS), tailored for the IoT domain. These upgrades extend the platform's capabilities in registration, configuration, provisioning, maintenance, and monitoring of IoT devices, enabling seamless integration with major cloud providers including Azure IoT Hub, AWS IoT, and Google Cloud IoT.

This integration empowers SEALSQ to offer comprehensive IoT device management services as part of its product suite. This new INeS version is fully integrated with SEALCOIN, which should become available end Second Quarter 2024, and crafted to cater to the burgeoning sectors of the IoT and M2M communication. This token is not just another addition to the crypto ecosystem, but a pivotal force that could redefine how machines interact and transact in a highly interconnected world.

The multifaceted applications of SEALCOIN illuminate its potential to transform various industries and streamline people's daily lives. The INeS platform introduces an advanced Device Management feature accessible via a web interface and REST API. This innovation allows customers and developers to automate the management of devices and certificates, seamlessly integrating these processes with the manufacturing pipeline.

INeS excels in remotely managing credentials, including the activation, deactivation, revocation, renewal, and secure provisioning (point-to-point secure update) of IoT edge devices and business applications. Expanding the application spectrum, INeS enables a multitude of industrial uses. From facilitating predictive maintenance across industries, optimizing productivity with equipment and machinery monitoring, to enhancing smart home experiences with connected appliances and enabling secure communication between devices like self-driving cars and smart homes, INeS serves as a cornerstone for the IoT era.

SEALSQ's technology not only ensures that connected devices evolve into intelligent entities capable of self-defense and learning from cyber threats but also facilitates the sharing of this intelligence across networks. SEALSQ offers the INeS platform as a managed service from its secure data centers located in Switzerland. Moreover, to cater to diverse customer requirements and security mandates, on-premises and hybrid deployment options are also available.

The platform is designed to support multitenancy, enabling customers to leverage a single software instance for multiple, independent projects or solutions. The evolution of device management services is driven by the expanding diversity of device technologies, such as edge intelligence and connectivity technologies, and by customer challenges like scalability and security in IoT deployments. Anticipating future needs, suppliers are preparing for an era where over 40% of connected devices will employ various Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technologies by 2026.

With the demand to manage an increasing array of connected devices, global technology intelligence firm ABI Research predicts that IoT device management services will generate revenues exceeding $36.8 billion by 2026. Employing public key cryptography and digital certificates, SEALSQ's enhanced INeS CMS for IoT offers a versatile and scalable certificate management solution. Positioned at the forefront of IoT, SEALSQ's VaultIC Secure Elements protect vast quantities of data, which, when analyzed with AI, enable the detection of cybersecurity threats and the prediction of equipment failures before they occur.

SEALSQ's IoT revenue model is recurrent, focusing on the authenticated data produced by microchips and RoT and the enabled services, rather than the hardware components themselves.
