An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Top of the heap in secure encryption solutions is the HSM (Hardware Security Module), which provides the highest degree of protection for encryption keys and security certificates.
An HSM is a tamper resistant physical device (i.e. an appliance) that issues and protects encryption keys, performs encryption and description operations, supports strong authentication, and protects data.
Futurex is a dedicated HSM supplier, and has been for more than 40 years, emphasizing performance, reliability, customization, and ease of use.
Their HSMs provide enterprise key management, a certificate authority with PKI (public key infrastructure), data protection and tokenization, and cryptographic infrastructure management.
The newest HSM is called CryptoHub and offers comprehensive functionality via an easy to use GUI for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments.
They also offer a basic HSM called Vectera Plus and a specialized HSM called Excrypt Plus, tailored for payment processing applications for banks, retailers, payment gateways, and so on.
Excrypt SSP Enterprise is an HSM offering optimized for high performance payment processing.
Beyond the core HSM functionality, Futurex offers virtual HSMs and containers that can be customized for specific use cases, such as encryption for applications, data in transit, and data at rest, including IoT device traffic.
Futurex offers pre-built integrations with more than 150 third party key management and encryption providers. Futurex offers customized solutions for additional customer use cases.
They encourage customers to prepare for post-quantum cryptography by creating an inventory of cryptographic assets and assessing the risk of “harvest now, decrypt later” exposure.
Futurex is certified for Microsoft CNG, PKCS 11 FIPS 140-2 level 3, and is validated for PCI (payment card industry) standards. among others.
