The architecture powering Zero Trust at the edge

Tern plc

The shift to Zero Trust security has placed a new spotlight on the most fundamental yet overlooked layer of the digital ecosystem: device identity. For enterprises managing vast fleets of connected assets, the moment of onboarding is no longer a technical footnote, it is the critical juncture where long-term trust, compliance, and resilience begin.

What has long been treated as an administrative step in the supply chain has now become a strategic control point. Weak or reused device identities have been the unseen entry point for some of the most serious operational breaches, from energy grid outages to compromised medical systems. Yet, the tide is turning. Advances in automated identity provisioning now enable enterprises to establish verifiable trust at the very edge, embedding security directly during manufacturing and onboarding rather than layering it on afterwards.

At the centre of this evolution is Device Authority’s KeyScaler® platform, which automates the creation and management of strong, unique device identities at industrial scale. Each identity can be anchored in hardware through Trusted Platform Modules or secure elements, or dynamically generated via Dynamic Device Key Generation when such components are absent.

The true strength of Zero Trust, however, lies in the ongoing validation of identity rather than its initial establishment. Device Authority’s partnership with Olympus integrates these trust anchors into identity and access management frameworks where policies continuously adapt to device health, behaviour, and operational context.
