Intertrust provides a zero‑trust networking platform that authenticates and encrypts traffic for billions of IoT, DER, and media devices via its XPN layer and automated PKI service. The suite also includes a unified API for DER orchestration, a rapid DER valuation engine, virtual secure rooms, and an IT/OT gateway, enabling secure, scalable data exchange and compliance for utilities, VPP operators, streaming services, and enterprise integrators.

Problem
Distributed energy resources, media streaming, and industrial IoT deployments rely on fragmented integrations, legacy security models, and manual certificate management, which create high operational costs, expose systems to cyber‑threats, and hinder scalable data exchange across open networks.
Solution
Intertrust delivers a portfolio of zero‑trust networking and identity services that unify connectivity for energy assets, media devices, and IoT endpoints. Its XPN (Explicit Private Networking) layer authenticates every device and application, while Intertrust Connect provides a single API for DER orchestration and AI‑ready data flow. Intertrust PKI automates issuance, rotation, and offline provisioning of cryptographic credentials, eliminating the need for in‑house certificate authorities. Flexworks supplies a rapid valuation engine for DER programs, and virtual secure rooms (cloud‑based SCIFs) enable encrypted collaboration across organizational boundaries. Together, these solutions create a trusted, interoperable fabric that scales to billions of devices without custom code or legacy security gaps.
Target Audience
Utilities, virtual power‑plant operators, DER aggregators, energy retailers, and OEMs developing smart‑grid hardware; media streaming platforms and content‑rights managers; enterprise IT/OT teams and system integrators that require secure, scalable device identity and data exchange.
Features
- XPN application‑layer zero‑trust network that authenticates devices and encrypts traffic across heterogeneous IoT protocols (AMI, ZigBee, Bluetooth, Z‑Wave).
- Intertrust Connect unified API that abstracts DER protocols, supports real‑time data ingestion, and enables AI‑driven control with built‑in security policies.
- Automated, cloud‑native PKI service with short‑lived certificates, key‑ladder support, and offline factory/field provisioning for billions of devices.
- Flexworks DER valuation platform that runs thousands of “what‑if” scenarios in minutes, integrates market price feeds, and exports results to standard reporting tools.
- Virtual secure rooms (cloud SCIFs) offering end‑to‑end encryption, role‑based access control, and compliance‑ready audit logs for cross‑organization collaboration.
- IT/OT convergence gateway that bridges legacy operational technology stacks to enterprise IT systems using secure data pipelines and open standards (FHIR, IEC 61850).
- Built‑in compliance modules meeting NISTIR 8259A, NERC CIP, and WebTrust certifications, with multi‑region high‑availability and disaster‑recovery.
