We live in an increasingly connected world — from wearables on our wrists and smart devices in our homes to connected vehicles and intelligent infrastructure that power our cities and keep our societies moving. Our physical world is filled with connected devices, while the digital world of cloud services and digital twins integrates them to generate massive amounts of data at scale. But data is only valuable if it can be trusted. Trusted digital interactions and transactions require knowing who and what we are interacting with. That’s why one of today’s most urgent challenges is managing the machine identities that modern digital infrastructure relies on.

Flying nearly 5,000 planes each day across the globe while carrying ~500,000 passengers is a daunting task.

. . . from a trillion connected and intelligent things. The challenge is trying to pull it all together and make sense of it.
