Problem
Organizations sharing physical or digital spaces, such as smart cities or venues, face challenges in securely managing systems and data across different administrative domains and trust levels. Existing solutions often treat these shared spaces as having a single owner, which does not reflect the reality of multiple cooperating and potentially competing entities. This can lead to inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities, and difficulties in data sharing and system management.
Solution
Configured Things provides a cross-domain configuration management platform that enables secure data sharing and system management across multiple organizations and trust boundaries. The platform uses a policy-based approach to connect organizations and federate their systems and data in a controlled manner. By implementing declarative configuration management, the platform puts systems under control, monitors for drift, and takes corrective action based on a desired outcome. This allows clients to build systems that span boundaries between and within organizations, enhancing operational efficiency and security in shared spaces.
Target Audience
The primary customers are organizations that operate in shared spaces, such as smart cities, venues, and buildings, and need to securely manage systems and share data across multiple domains.
