To ensure the reliability of data today, the practice of encrypting everything is very common, but this practice gives us a lot of keys that we have to store so that we can ensure that the data will be accessible as soon as we wish.
For this reason many auditors recommend high quality hardware security such as the Thales nShield HSMs, to protect and manage your encryption keys with availability, high performance and ensure business continuity.
What is Thales nShield HSMs
They are high performance encryption equipment that generate, store and manage cryptographic keys. O Thales nShield HSMs also has:
- Key protector in secure and tamper resistant environment.
- Enforce security policies by separating security roles from administrative tasks.
- Meets regulatory requirements for public and financial services companies.
- Supports high performance elliptic curve encryption (ECC).
Thales nShield HSMs are available to meet performance and budget needs:
- nShield Edge: Portable USB Attached Down Volume Offline
- root certification authority (CA) and developer environments
- nShield Solo / Solo + / Solo XC: Embedded PCI or PCIe for issuing CA / OCSP SSL servers and security devices
- nShield Connect / Connect + / Connect XC: Networking for CA Issuance / OCSP / SSL Environments
THE Microsoft has transformed the way companies create and share content. Microsoft application-based systems maximize business productivity. To protect this data from Microsoft became a pioneer in using encryption technologies to establish reliable business.
Using Thales nShield HSMs with Microsoft Enterprise products we have some advantages such as:
- The keys will be used only for the purpose that was authorized.
- Storage and redundancy features ensure that key usage is always available and accessible.
- It has high performance to support high cryptographic processing and increasing key volumes.
