AWS IoT Core at Synadia

AWS IoT Core forms the secure ingestion and device connectivity backbone within Synadia’s mission critical IoT platforms.

We design and operate production grade, multi tenant environments that connect industrial machines, PLCs and edge gateways to the AWS Cloud using X.509 certificate based authentication and MQTT over TLS.

AWS IoT Core enables secure device onboarding, real time event driven processing and scalable integration with serverless AWS services.

AWS IoT Core provides the secure and scalable foundation required to bridge operational technology with the AWS Cloud. Through certificate based authentication, MQTT over TLS and policy driven device access control, it enables controlled and encrypted communication at scale.

At Synadia, AWS IoT Core is not treated as a simple message broker. It forms the controlled entry point for all device communication, enforcing tenant isolation, secure provisioning and event driven processing. From there, telemetry is routed through AWS IoT Core Rules Engine into serverless services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon S3 to enable real time operational intelligence.

This architectural foundation allows industrial organizations to move from isolated machine data to secure, scalable and production ready cloud connected operations.

Industrial connectivity is not limited to sending messages from devices to the cloud. It requires structured identity management, secure transport, deterministic edge behavior and event driven cloud processing.

At Synadia, AWS IoT Core is positioned at the center of this spectrum. It connects physical assets to the AWS Cloud through a controlled, secure and scalable architecture that spans device onboarding, tenant isolation, real time processing and operational observability.

The spectrum below outlines how AWS IoT Core is applied across each architectural layer.

Every device connecting to AWS IoT Core is authenticated using X.509 certificates. Synadia implements certificate based provisioning mechanisms such as Provisioning by Claim to ensure controlled device onboarding.

IoT policies enforce least privilege access, restricting devices to their dedicated MQTT topics and preventing cross tenant data exposure. All communication occurs over MQTT with TLS encryption in transit.

This approach eliminates shared credentials and ensures that each connected asset has a verifiable and isolated identity within AWS IoT Core.

Industrial environments often require deterministic local behavior. Synadia integrates AWS IoT Greengrass to enable secure edge runtimes that operate independently from cloud availability.

Edge systems buffer telemetry locally and synchronize with AWS IoT Core when connectivity is restored. This guarantees operational continuity while maintaining secure bidirectional communication between edge and cloud.

AWS IoT Core Rules Engine is used to route device telemetry to serverless AWS services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon S3.

This enables real time processing, persistent storage and event driven orchestration without managing servers. Amazon EventBridge is used to fan out events to downstream services, ensuring loosely coupled and scalable processing pipelines.

Synadia designs MQTT topic namespaces to enforce tenant separation. IoT Core policies restrict devices to scoped topic hierarchies aligned with tenant boundaries.

Combined with IAM role segmentation and controlled resource access, this ensures that industrial customers operate within logically isolated environments while sharing a scalable AWS infrastructure.

CloudWatch logging and monitoring are enabled for AWS IoT Core and all downstream services. Certificate lifecycle management, automated deployments via Infrastructure as Code and strict IAM least privilege policies ensure compliance with AWS security best practices.

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using AWS native encryption mechanisms.

AWS IoT Core enables Synadia to securely connect operational technology at scale while enforcing strict device identity, tenant isolation and encrypted communication. It acts as the controlled entry point for all industrial device traffic, ensuring that every message entering the AWS Cloud is authenticated, authorized and traceable.

By combining AWS IoT Core with serverless services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon S3, Synadia delivers event driven architectures that transform raw telemetry into real time operational insight. Edge integration through AWS IoT Greengrass ensures resilience in environments where deterministic local behavior is required.

This architectural approach allows industrial organizations to evolve from isolated machine connectivity to secure, scalable and production grade cloud connected operations built according to AWS best practices for security, scalability and observability.
