IdenTrust supports over 18 billion validations per year and is the world's
leading digital Certification Authority.

which significantly enhances its already impressive IoT security solution
and go-to-market strategy. This alliance with IdenTrust is testament to the
quality of DA's KeyScaler product and further demonstrates the continuing
progress it is making within the IoT security sector. We are confident in
DA's strategy and look forward to announcing future achievements as they
develop."
