Together, these building blocks enable companies and developers to deliver innovations faster to the marketplace by reducing the complexity and providing a secure connection between devices and trusted data in the cloud. Afero was built with security as a cornerstone. The platform provides mutual authentication so that all incoming and outgoing data is continuously encrypted and never exchanged without proven identity. The team built Afero to address the problem of a rapidly growing and fragmenting smart device industry.
