A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is a dedicated crypto processor that is specifically designed for the protection of the crypto key lifecycle. Hardware Security Modules act as trust anchors that protect the cryptographic infrastructure of some of the most security-conscious organisations in the world by securely managing, processing and storing cryptographic keys inside a hardened, tamper-resistant device.
What is the purpose ofHardware Security Modules?
Enterprises buy Hardware Security Modules to protect transactions, identities and applications, as HSMs excel at securing cryptographic keys and provisioning encryption, decryption, authentication and digital signing services for a wide range of applications.
What Makes Thales the Best HSM Vendor?
Thales Hardware Security Modules provide the highest level of security by always storing cryptographic keys in hardware. They provide a secure crypto foundation as the keys never leave the intrusion-resistant, tamper-evident, FIPS-validated appliance. Since all cryptographic operations occur within the HSM, strong access controls prevent unauthorised users from accessing sensitive cryptographic material. Thales also implements operations that make the deployment of secure HSMs as easy as possible. Theyare integrated with Thales Crypto Command Center for quick and easy crypto resource partitioning, reporting and monitoring.
Thales HSMs adhere to rigorous design requirements and must pass through stringent product verification testing, followed by real-world application testing to verify the security and integrity of every device.
Don't compromise on agility, usability or scalability with Luna HSMs, purposely designed to provide a balance of security and high performance for both traditional and emerging technologies.
