ForgeRock in IoT: Smart Cities

ForgeRock’s identity-centric approach establishes secure relationships between people, between people and things, and between things themselves. With a focus on identities, it’s easy to connect and build new, secure, personalized user experiences.Enter the smart city, where everything can harness the power of identity. Your utility meter, parking spaces, traffic lights—even your disaster early warning system has an identity.Say a hurricane is coming. The early warning system kicks in, sending an encrypted message to the city’s emergency responders like fire, ambulance, and police, as well as public transit and utility services. The identity is authenticated as a legitimate early warning, not a hacker manipulating the system.The early warning system can then put emergency plans into action, closing bridges and subways timely, and sending firefighters to help evacuate unsafe buildings.
