Device Management

The devices layer is the most important component of an IoT solution. A mature IoT platform comes with comprehensive device management features that let customers on-board existing and new devices with rich metadata. Identical devices that share the same metadata are grouped together. This feature makes it possible to search devices based on their capabilities.

The platform also provides per-device authentication and authorization to enforce enhanced security. It makes it easy to define which devices can connect, send, and receive messages. Devices can be easily blacklisted and whitelisted through declarative policies.
