Envative's consultative approach and proficiency in architecting custom IoT software and hardware solutions combines with a mastery of the AWS IoT Core, AWS Greengrass, and other related AWS tool sets. This unique combination provides for the most compelling, customizable, and cost-effective IoT device and access control management solutions available.
Our IOT Secure Access Control Solution includes the development and deployment of IoT devices and backend services using C++, AWS IoT services, and integration with other software for managing access control permissions for end-users. Key activities of the solution include:
- Configuration of AWS IoT Core to power the secure device connectivity to AWS services, the communication protocol by which the devices will communicate with AWS and rules for AWS IoT to limit device access to AWS services and resources.
- Development of IoT device applications leveraging AWS IoT Device SDKs (IoT C++ Device, Mobile, and IoT Device Client).
- Outlining and applying a security layer using server / client authentication, AWS IoT Core Policies, Security Policies, and device auditing through AWS IoT Device Defender.
- Implementation of AWS IoT Device Management to manage device provisioning by using a secure, templated, and remote deployment strategy.
- Integration of device state management by using device shadows for a reliable data store for devices and of the device’s state.
- Setup of monitoring and logging with AWS CloudWatch and AWS IoT Analytics.
- Integration with other software that will manage the access control permissions for end-users, review access events, and view device details.
