Gemalto announced the availability of SafeNet Luna SA 6, the first HSM (hardware security module) purpose-built for service providers to offer on-demand crypto processing, key management and key storage in the cloud.
For many organizations, the option of purchasing and managing encryption keys on-premises does not align with their vision of using cloud-based infrastructure as on-demand services. In addition, service providers that want to offer higher levels of data protection are required to manage encryption solutions on behalf of their customers, which means increased liability and risk in terms of data access and complying with customer compliance requirements. As a result, these challenges have prevented many security conscious companies from migrating sensitive data to the cloud.
With the new SafeNet Luna SA, cloud companies can provide all of the security, compliance and trust of an on-premises HSM appliance while their customers realize the cost, flexibility and performance benefits of the cloud yet still maintain complete ownership of their keys.
“Gemalto’s SafeNet Luna HSM for service providers addresses a current gap in the market for encryption and key management,” said Garrett Bekker, senior security analyst at 451 Research. “Enterprises that are looking to move more resources to the cloud are realizing the need for encryption and key management, but often lack the resources to deploy and manage their own encryption key management infrastructure. By packaging SafeNet Luna HSM for service providers, enterprises of all sizes can maintain control of their sensitive keys while taking advantage of the benefits the cloud provides.”
