HSM Overview
SafeNet Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) provide reliable protection for transactions, identities, and applications by securing cryptographic keys and provisioning encryption, decryption, authentication, and digital signing services. SafeNet HSMs are ranked #1 in the market worldwide. They provide the highest-performing, most secure, and easiest-to-integrate application and transaction security solution for enterprise and government organizations.
With a broad range of HSM offerings and a full range of API support, SafeNet HSMs enable application developers to easily integrate security into custom applications. In partnership with leading application solution providers, SafeNet has produced HSMs that offer end-to-end protection for organizations, helping them achieve regulatory compliance, streamline business processes, reduce legal liabilities, and improve profitability .
Today, organizations are asking:
How can I ensure my keys are protected throughout the key life-cycle?
Can hardware security modules help my company meet compliance mandates?
Should I consider an HSM if I need to accelerate my cryptographic operations?
How can HSMs help secure my assets in the cloud?
HSM Design Best Practices
SafeNet HSMs incorporate features developed through extensive operational experience, implementing best practices in hardware, software, and operations that make the deployment of secure HSMs as easy as possible. SafeNet 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 appliance.
With SafeNet Hardware Security Modules, You Can:
Offload and accelerate cryptographic operations to a dedicated cryptographic processor that eliminates bottlenecks and maximizes application performance
Centralize lifecycle management of cryptographic keys—from generation, distribution, rotation, storage, termination, and archival— in a purpose-built, highly secure appliance
Improve profitability and achieve compliance with solutions for paper-to-digital initiatives, PCI DSS, digital signatures, DNSSEC, hardware key storage, transactional acceleration, certificate signing, code or document signing, bulk key generation, data encryption, and more.

What is an HSM?
Crypto Command Center represents a revolution in provisioning cryptographic resources, and firmly plants the HSM and its associated key management and cryptographic functions in the evolving cloud and virtual world.
Luna SA is the choice for enterprises requiring strong cryptographic security for paper-to-digital initiatives, digital signatures, DNSSEC, hardware key storage, transactional acceleration, certificate signing, code or document signing, bulk key generation, data encryption, and more.
The threat of a stolen computer has always been a security concern for Enterprises. In most IT environments today that could apply to everything from personal smartphones/PDAs, laptops, and personal computers up to large server platforms. This form of attack has, until recently, necessitated the physical theft of the computer.
One nightmare still plaguing cloud customers is the fear that their data will be compromised while it's in residence with the provider – or worse, that it will be purposely or accidentally migrated outside of the appropriate legal jurisdictions (for example, concerns about the Patriot Act have led many European customers to insist that their data remain in European datacenters). No matter how well intentioned the providers may be, there haven't been enough international court cases yet to settle all the open questions about what they can be legally forced to surrender or disclose.
The volume of information is mushrooming and being transformed from paper to digital form at an alarming rate with no end in sight. Individually, we all experience the steady growth in storage capacity and our use of that capacity in the devices we touch daily – our laptops, desktops, and smart phones. On the commercial side, a conversation with the IT data center personnel quickly reveals that adding storage capacity is a perennial budget item.
With the rising incidence of threats to consumer data, and increasing requirements to protect that data, merchants must focus on their security infrastructure. Regulations have been implemented not only by the state and federal governments, but by the credit card industry as well. Companies are compelled to prove their compliance with these regulations and will be held liable for their failure to do so. While these rules focus on protecting the consumer, they also serve as protection for the merchant, as security breaches can have a far-reaching impact to both a company’s finances and reputation.
Regulatory mandates are nothing new, but in most organizations, the pressure, cost, and effort required to sustain compliance are reaching unprecedented levels. Compliance is challenged by evolving mandates, infrastructure changes like data center consolidation, new deployment models like cloud and virtualization, as well as advancing threats to the security of sensitive data itself.
As businesses transform and use sensitive data within their enterprise and in the cloud, it is imperative to ensure trust ownership. SafeNet Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) provide reliable protection for transactions, identities, and applications by securing cryptographic keys and provisioning encryption, decryption, authentication, and digital signing services. SafeNet HSMs are ranked #1 in the market worldwide. They provide the highest-performing, most secure, and easiest-to-integrate application and transaction security solution for enterprise and government organizations. Robust FIPS and Common Criteria validation makes SafeNet HSMs tamper-resistant.
