          Tern Plc (the "Company", or the "Group") 
 
          DA extends Microsoft Azure IoT hub security capabilities 
 
 Tern Plc (AIM:TERN), the investment company specialising in the Internet of 
Things ("IoT"), notes today's announcement from Device Authority ("DA"), the 
                    IoT security business in which Tern has a 56.8% holding. 
 
      DA has announced its support for Microsoft Azure IoT Hub following the 
     recent release of KeyScaler 5.8, a global leader in Identity and Access 
Management for IoT. Combining these two technologies will allow customers to 
take advantage of automated enterprise IoT security lifecycle management, as 
     well as KeyScaler's Delegated Security Management model, which provides 
  device provisioning with continued device lifecycle credential management. 
 
    Keyscaler is able to provide automated Public Key Infrastructure ("PKI") 
           certificate provisioning from both public and private certificate 
authorities and integrates with Hardware Security Modules to ensure a robust 
               root of trust and maximum amount of security for key storage. 
 
     The support of DA's KeyScaler technology adds further value by allowing 
           enterprises to automate security policy enforcement, subsequently 
 eliminating several management issues of using PKI for IoT. The combination 
    of the two technologies also adds the benefits of both functionality and 
                    audit, and logging for compliance purposes. 
 
                    Tern CEO Al Sisto said: 
 
      "It is great to see DA supporting Microsoft Azure IoT in such a way to 
 enable a more secure and robust solution. Utilising DA's KeyScaler 5.8 in a 
way which complements the capabilities of the Microsoft Azure IoT Hub allows 
       both technologies to grow together and improve customer experiences."
