ForgeRock Delivers Open Source IoT Edge Controller Solution to Secure Device IdentitiesSAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ForgeRock®, the leading platform provider of digital identity management solutions, today announced the immediate availability of its IoT Edge Controller, which provides consumer and industrial manufacturers the ability to deliver trusted identity at the device level. In this way, “things” can have the same identity capabilities as traditional (customer or employee) identities. A complete end-to-end security solution for IoT deployments, the IoT Edge Controller runs on smart edge devices, and provides the privacy, integrity and security required for devices to register as identities in the ForgeRock Identity Platform. Delivering an open source edge controller allows businesses to include digital identities as part of products and significantly accelerate time-to-market of new IoT solutions. ForgeRock extends its leadership in innovation and commitment to developers in providing the IoT Edge Controller as open source under the Apache 2.0 License. Open source customers and partners can more easily build industry-specific solutions with additional functionality, and ultimately drive higher levels of interoperability.
