Johnson Controls partners with DigiCert for smart building initiative
Johnson Controls and DigiCert have announced a new partnership
With the hope of providing customers with secure, trusted connectivity for smart building technology, Johnson Controls and DigiCert have announced a new partnership. This will reportedly enable the Johnson Controls OpenBlue digital solutions suite to utilise DigiCert’s ONE PKI platform.
“This strategic partnership allows Johnson Controls to offer our customers increased peace of mind by mitigating the risk of costly operational interruptions due to cybersecurity attacks while providing resilient, trusted smart building solutions that use the most advanced PKI technology from DigiCert, the clear leader in its field,” said Mike Ellis, Executive Vice President and Chief Customer & Digital Officer at Johnson Controls.
“Our domain expertise in healthy, secure and smart buildings, combined with DigiCert’s trusted digital identity and automated certificate management capabilities, will further enhance our OpenBlue suite and offer a clear advantage for smart building operations.”
The Johnson Controls-DigiCert PKI solution is set to ensure that hardware, software and communication remains trusted throughout the lifecycle of the smart building. This approach also reportedly brings modern PKI security as well as advanced expertise in managing digital certificates to provide device authentication and identity, data encryption and integrity for each component of the ecosystem.
“Johnson Controls is taking an important leadership stance in providing building owners confidence that their devices are safely and securely connected to the network using robust PKI solutions,” said Mike Nelson, Vice President of IoT Security at DigiCert.
“DigiCert ONE singularly offers container-based, cloud-native technology for fully automated certificate management with flexible deployment and secure and simple integration with the OpenBlue ecosystem. DigiCert ONE’s IoT Device Manager provides complete IoT device lifecycle management that, together with OpenBlue, will ensure secure digital transformation of smart buildings.”
