We make it easy to
secure IoT...

Atsign’s award-winning, open-source technology platform enables IoT device manufactures, system integrators, and organizations to secure devices better than any other technology.

Until now, IoT devices have required static IP addresses, so administrators can configure administrative access to update and reconfigure them. These fixed IP addresses are a security weakness. Atsign technology provides full remote access to devices for administrators using private, dynamic IPs, with no external access. Hackers can’t hack what they can’t see.

IoT devices typically have open ports (like an open door) to receive inbound communications. These “doors” are targets that hackers exploit to breach a device, steal its data, or turn the device into a weapon to get access to connected systems. Atsign technology allows for authorized parties to access a device without open ports, so even if a hacker finds the device, there’s no network attack surface to exploit.

Often, data is stolen from the system(s) the device is connected to. Atsign technology encrypts data on the edge (on the protected device) in a way that’s only readable by the authorized recipient(s) for whom the data was encrypted. So, if a bad actor accesses it, the data is completely unreadable and therefore worthless to them.

The benefits of the Atsign technology go far beyond security. It requires less software and hardware thus saving up to 78% in total cost of ownership by reducing administration and energy consumption. Deployment time in many instances can shrink from months to minutes.

...and we make it easy to
respect people's privacy.

Our SDK makes it easy for developers and organizations to create cross-platform apps and experiences that offer:

Data Privacy
End-to-end encryption and peer-to-peer sharing keep data safe from prying eyes.

Data Control
Complete control over what to share, whom to share it with, and how long to share it belongs to individuals. Period.

New & Better Experiences
Build unique, imaginative apps that people love.

Case studies in Healthcare
& Telecommunications

Atsign technology offers benefits across a wide range of IoT applications and industries. In fact, it’s difficult to find scenarios and industries where it does not provide significant advantages. Below are two real-world examples of how partners are integrating Atsign technology to create solutions with remarkable benefits to their customers.

IoMT (Medical/Healthcare)

A medical company uses predictive algorithms to identify critical instability in patients via connected medical devices. These devices, used in ambulances and in homes, send data to servers located in hospitals where their algorithm identifies people in dire need of care and alerts the person’s care team.

Problem: Device connectivity setup was a long and laborious process because they had to assign static IP addresses to each remote device and manage the hospital's firewalls and VPN configurations for each device, to allow it to connect to the hospital’s network. This process was strictly governed which meant that it could take up to 9 months from start to finish.

Solution: Their atPlatform-based solution reduced implementation time to a matter of days because they can get secure connections from end-to-end without the need for static IP address or open ports. Thanks to the atPlatform, their devices and internal systems are virtually invisible to any bad actors and all their data is secure.

Additional Benefits for IoMT

In addition to improved implementation time, the atPlatform provides several additional benefits:

• Privacy law compliance - Whether it be HIPPA, the Data Protection Act in the UK, or the GDPR in the EU.

• OpEx Savings

• CapEx Saving (both software and hardware)
  
  

Telecommunications

A telecommunications company was asked to provide solar powered WiFi connectivity throughout a large college campus.

Problem: The WiFi access points needed firewalls and VPNs to secure them and protect people’s data. These security layers added a variety of costs (software, hardware, power, and administrative) and increased the size of the access points (larger batteries and solar panels were required).

Solution: The atPlatform-powered solution encrypted data from end-to-end, eliminating the need for VPNs. It also removed the requirement for the hub to have a static IP address and open ports thus eliminating the need for a firewall. 

Removing the VPN and firewall from the hub lowered software and administration expenses. It also decreased power consumption, so the hubs could use smaller panels and have a smaller footprint.
