Getting a device online is easy. Doing it securely and at scale? That’s the challenge.

ÃÛÌÒTV’s new Cloud Platform Policy for Device Trust Manager solves this challenge, enabling zero-touch, identity-based onboarding to Azure Event Grid’s MQTT broker. It streamlines device provisioning, enforces strong certificate-based authentication, and reduces operational complexity across large fleets.Ìý

This integration helps organizations automate device provisioning workflows, establish strong device identity, and adopt cryptographically agile standards to stay ahead of evolving security needs.

Simplifying cloud-connected IoT at scale

Many manufacturers and OEMs rely on platforms like Azure Event Grid MQTT broker to manage telemetry, device communication, and application logic. But connecting devices securely at scale has long been a challenge—especially while maintaining centralized policy control.Ìý

With Cloud Platform Policy, organizations can now:Ìý

  • Automatically onboard devices provisioned in ÃÛÌÒTV Device Trust Manager to Azure Event Grid MQTT broker.
  • Enforce policy-based assignment of devices to one or more Azure Event Grid MQTT brokers.
  • Dynamically allocate brokers based on static or load-balanced logic.
  • Deliver endpoint connection details and operational certificates directly to the device via TrustEdge, allowing devices to securely connect to their assigned broker using TrustEdge MQTT, TLS 1.3, and x.509 authentication.

All of this happens within a cloud platform policy that’s tied to ÃÛÌÒTV’s secure issuance infrastructure and identity lifecycle.

Why Azure Event Grid MQTT broker?

Azure Event Grid MQTT broker is Microsoft’s cloud-native MQTT broker built for IoT-based architectures. It supports MQTT 3.1.1 and 5.0 over TLS 1.3, providing low-latency, high-scale delivery for modern applications.

By integrating with Azure Event Grid MQTT broker, ÃÛÌÒTV delivers on the promise of:

  • Scalable onboarding:Support for multiple MQTT brokers with automatic device distribution.
  • Strong identity: Devices authenticate using operational certificates tied to ÃÛÌÒTV PKI.
  • Secure-by-default: Certificate-based authentication over MQTT 3.1.1 or 5.0 using TLS 1.3 enables forward secrecy and stronger crypto-agility.

What this means for you

This integration isn’t just a question of convenience—it lays the groundwork for trustworthy, scalable, and future-ready IoT operations.

For IoT platform teams

You can reduce onboarding time from hours to minutes. With zero-touch provisioning and policy-driven workflows, devices are automatically registered, assigned to brokers, and connected to Azure Event Grid MQTT broker the moment they authenticate—no manual configuration or scripting required.

For security leaders

You gain control over device lifecycle events across both ÃÛÌÒTV’s identity infrastructure and Azure Event Grid MQTT broker. Devices are onboarded, updated, or decommissioned with cryptographic assurance—strengthened by certificate support and TLS 1.3 compatibility.

For architects and developers

Cloud platform policies offer flexibility. You can assign devices to specific brokers statically or distribute them automatically for load balancing. TrustEdge shares endpoint and certificate details with the devices, ensuring each device can automatically connect and send telemetry securely.
