Smart Cities & Infrastructure
A global electric vehicle manufacturer needed to support ISO 15118-compliant Plug & Charge across its growing network of vehicles, charge points, and service providers. As EV adoption accelerated, the company required a unified trust infrastructure that could authenticate vehicles, chargers, and mobility service providers automatically — eliminating user friction while maintaining cryptographic control and compliance with international standards.
Smart Cities & Infrastructure
Smart infrastructure operators face escalating risks as PLCs, SCADA systems, elevators, building management systems (BMS), and connected city services converge on digital networks. These assets are long-lived, safetycritical, and regulated under IEC 62443, SIL 3/4, and NIST SP 800-82. Challenges include legacy assets with expired credentials, PLC-driven elevators integrated into fire and BMS systems, and emergency phone lines converted to IP/VoIP, creating new attack surfaces. SCADA/DCS controllers managing power, water, and city services are also exposed to cyber and compliance risks, compounded by fragmented visibility across suppliers and infrastructure. To meet safety and regulatory demands, operators require a resilient, audit-ready trust foundation ensuring compliance and uptime.
Power, Energy & Utilities
A leading U.S. power utility needed to secure and modernize its digital trust infrastructure across IT and OT networks. With thousands of certificates, keys, and secrets spread across enterprise applications, SCADA devices, and mobile endpoints, the risk of outage, cyberattack, and compliance gaps was rising sharply. At the same time, the organization faced increasing regulatory pressure and had committed to a full digital transformation by 2030, requiring a more resilient, unified trust foundation.
Automotive & Connected Vehicles Industry
A global Tier-1 automotive supplier needed to protect the provisioning and management of sensitive credentials and firmware used in embedded Electronic Control Units (ECUs) across their supply chain. With increasing risks from unauthorized access, rogue diagnostics, and counterfeit components, the customer turned to ISS to automate and secure the lifecycle of ECU authentication—from initial password generation to in-field service validation.
Aerospace & Defense Industry
A leading supplier of mission-critical engine control units (ECUs) for U.S. military applications needed a way to securely transport firmware and key material to deployed systems – without relying on external connections, internet access, or physical vendor presence. The solution needed to meet government STIG standards, protect against tampering, and ensure end-to-end integrity from factory to edge-deployed systems.
Aerospace & Defense Industry
A leading A&D prime contractor supporting the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) was developing next-generation defense capabilities. The customer faced the critical challenge of securely delivering cryptographic key material and mission-critical firmware directly to deployed devices – while eliminating human touchpoints, reducing risk of compromise, and aligning with STIG compliance mandates. Traditional models depended on manual processes, air gaps, and on-prem security protocols that could no longer scale to the desired automation, assurance, and operational tempo.
