Digicert launches new features to assist telcos migrate 5G to cloud environments

Today’s telecommunication organizations face a variety of similar transformation challenges as they migrate to 5G using cloud data centers. Many are moving from primarily physical environments with primitive authentication techniques, minimal use of cryptography and pre-shared keys.

These traditional infrastructures are capital-intensive to scale, inefficient and inflexible, slowing delivery of new services and time to market. Increasingly, they are moving toward more dynamic business models built around a DevOps mindset. These 5G and cloud environments are virtualized, dynamically scalable, and enable unparalleled business agility and smooth scalability.

To support their transformation and enable more rapid time-to-market for products, telecommunication providers require a platform designed for today’s highly dynamic, cloud-native, modern business models.

The platform must provide strong authentication across on-premises and cloud environments, and the ability to perform at scale on the world’s largest networks. It needs to ensure operational integrity to help organizations meet compliance requirements and legal mandates.

And this demand from telcos has urged DigiCert Inc to unveil a set of new features and capabilities in its DigiCert IoT Device Manager that enables telecommunications providers to deploy 5G network services to cloud environments while maintaining security, compliance and performance.

Hosted on the DigiCert ONE platform, the company says that its IoT Device Manager provides support for strong authentication in dynamic, cloud-native environments, as well as scalability and operational integrity.

"As telecommunications, manufacturers and other organizations move to increasingly dynamic models, the IoT Device Manager provides the flexibility and rapid scalability they need to support 5G and cloud migration,” said DigiCert Senior Vice President of Product Brian Trzupek. “DigiCert ONE delivers the features, compatibility and performance our customers need to accelerate their digital transformation and take advantage of compelling new business models.”
