Thales and Telstra, Australia's leading telecommunications company are working with Microsoft and Arduino to pave the way for scalable security for connected IoT devices, by implementing a solution that enables trusted and secure end-to-end communication between device and cloud.

That's why Thales, Telstra, Microsoft and Arduino decided to team up to work on a solution that addresses the challenge of securely and efficiently connecting IoT devices to clouds in the most simplified way and through cellular networks.

"The key role of GSMA IoT Safe specifications is to deliver scalable and future-proof IoT security for cellular networks. Being able to in future offer standardised easy to implement IoT security to our customers as part of our existing IoT connectivity service, is a huge leap forward in terms of IoT security for all use cases, including smart energy, automotive, health, and home solutions. We look forward to trialling this reference design with our IoT solutions," said Gerhard Loots, Global IoT Solutions Executive at Telstra.

"The collaborative effort between these international organizations demonstrates the importance of simplifying IoT security without compromise. By bringing together each IoT technology layer; device, software, network and cloud, we can deliver a more streamlined approach to IoT security."

"This allows customers and partners to focus on creating business value from their solutions while ensuring their IoT deployments remain secure," said Tony Shakib, General Manager, Azure IoT Business Acceleration at Microsoft Corp. "We are very pleased to be part of the dream team composed by Thales, Telstra and Microsoft" said Fabio Violante, CEO of Arduino.
