OmniTrust Launches GridAuth for Secure Device Identity Management

ASHBURN, Va., Oct. 28, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- OmniTrust, a company that secures the connected world, has launched GridAuth, a device identity and trust management platform. The new solution is designed to help energy utilities and equipment manufacturers manage trusted device identities across complex, multi-vendor infrastructure, particularly in next-generation utility networks.

The launch of GridAuth coincides with the Wi-SUN Alliance Fall Members Meeting in North Carolina. GridAuth addresses the increasing complexity of energy networks, which now include smart meters, routers, gateways, and other connected devices from multiple manufacturers. These networks are expected to remain deployed for decades, presenting significant cybersecurity risks and regulatory challenges.

GridAuth offers several key capabilities, including trusted device identity, secure provisioning, multi-vendor trust, utility-controlled trust, lifecycle visibility, and cryptographic agility. The platform helps establish and track device identities from manufacturing through deployment, simplifies certificate provisioning and enrollment for Wi-SUN and connected infrastructure devices, and supports consistent identity practices across equipment manufacturers. It also enables utility-defined trust policies and operational credentials, maintaining visibility into device certificates and provisioning history.

OmniTrust's GridAuth is powered by OmniTrust PKI (OTPKI), which supports certificate issuance, enrollment, validation, revocation, CA hierarchy management, and cryptographic key operations. Together, they provide the trust infrastructure needed for secure manufacturing, device onboarding, and long-term lifecycle management.

OmniTrust's customers, including many Fortune 100 companies, rely on the company to protect more than 2 billion devices and secure more than 3 billion software updates annually. The company enables end-to-end visibility, policy-driven enforcement, and quantum-resilient cryptography across complex ecosystems in automotive, aerospace and defense, finance, healthcare, and other safety-critical, regulated industries.

The launch of GridAuth is aimed at addressing the growing complexity of energy networks and the need for secure, reliable, and trusted device identities. By providing a comprehensive solution for device identity and trust management, OmniTrust is helping energy utilities and equipment manufacturers navigate the challenges of next-generation utility networks.
