Case Study: CLAAS achieves secure data transmission for connected agricultural machinery with Secunet Security Networks' eID PKI Suite

CLAAS commissions secure PKI in 6 weeks with Secunet Security Networks

CLAAS, a manufacturer of agricultural machinery, faced the challenge of securing data transmission for its new digital services like smart farming and over-the-air software updates. To protect this data from unauthorized access and manipulation, CLAAS launched its "Security@CLAAS" project, which required the implementation of a new public key infrastructure (PKI). The company enlisted vendor secunet Security Networks to help with this initiative.

secunet Security Networks provided its eID PKI Suite to conceive and implement the new PKI solution. This established a trustworthy foundation for securing networked machinery, providing all necessary cryptographic functions. The project was completed rapidly, taking just six weeks from implementation start to commissioning. The solution provided CLAAS with a flexible and future-proof architecture that guarantees data confidentiality, availability, and integrity.
