Cloud hardware security
modules (HSMs)

Hardware Security Module (HSM) Crypto Express adapters are tamper-responding HSMs that support cryptographic operations using secure keys.

Overview

What is IBM Cloud® HSM?

A cryptographic hardware device such as a hardware security module (HSM) is a dedicated crypto processor. It is designed for the protection of the crypto key life cycle. HSMs 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. Cloud HSM is cloud HSM is a cloud-based hardware security module (HSM), a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated, single-tenant device available around the world where you need it most. Our HSM encryption services provide robust security. It protects your keys while supporting advanced cryptographic operations across your cloud and on-premises infrastructure.

What’s new

Secure key storage and cryptographic operations within a FIPS 140-2 Level 3, tamper-resistant hardware device

Financial Services

Healthcare

We safeguard patient records and enable HIPAA compliance with strong encryption and key management. Our solutions, such as Gemalto Encryption HSM, provide the most robust security for sensitive health information.

Government

We provide classified data security and facilitate adherence to federal standards, especially FIPS 140-2. We deliver the type of encryption necessary to reach the highest security levels called for in governmental operations.

E-commerce

We protect digital transactions and maintain data integrity with secure digital transactions with HSM technology. Our solutions ensure that your online customers have a safe and reliable experience. Advanced technology helps us deliver the necessary encryption for safe online transactions.

How clients use it

Keys in hardware

Secure cryptographic keys and provision encryption, decryption, authentication, and digital signing for apps like public key infrastructure (PKI), database encryption, and SSL/TLS for web servers.

High-volume protection

Faster than other HSMs on the market, IBM Cloud HSM 7.0 is ideally suited for use cases that require high performance, such as the protection of SSL/TLS keys and high-volume code signing.

Compliance

Manage compliance and audit needs for GDPR, eIDAS, FIPS 140, Common Criteria, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and others in highly regulated industries, including financial, healthcare, and government.

Features and capabilities

Protect your keys

Our secure key management generates, processes, and stores keys on your dedicated HSM, including support for PCIe HSM devices to enhance performance and scalability. Build your own public key infrastructure to handle application and signing activities. 

 

Cloud-friendly APIs

Support for PKCS #11 and extensions, Cryptographic Application Programming Interface, Cryptography API Next Generation, Java Security API, Key Management Interoperability Protocol, and RESTful APIs for application development and integration.

 

 

Role-based access control

Assign multiple roles that you can invoke in different ways that map to roles and functions in your organisation.

 

 

Logging and reporting

HSMs are equipped with performance monitoring and audit logging features to monitor security and provide audits of HSM activity.

 

Support

Receive access to the Gemalto support portal to receive the latest product updates, downloads, and documentation to manage the Cloud HSM.

 

Documentation

Select the ‘View Docs’ link for Cloud HSM documentation and tutorials on items like connecting and initialising the Cloud HSM.

 

 

 

Benefits

HSM versus software

Single-unit key storage streamlines administration and reduces the potential for lapses.

Centralized key management

Single-unit key storage streamlines administration and reduces the potential for lapses.

Keys in hardware

The keys-in-hardware approach ensures your keys have physical and logical protections.

Bare metal server for Classic

IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers on IBM Cloud Classic Infrastructure are ideal for large, steady-state, predictable operations that rely on traditional cloud networking.

Hardware security module

IBM Cloud Hardware Security Module (HSM) 7.0 from Gemalto protects cryptographic infrastructure by more securely managing, processing, and storing cryptographic keys inside a tamper-resistant hardware device.

Gateway appliance

IBM Cloud Gateway Appliances allow you to selectively route private and public network traffic through a full-featured enterprise-level firewall powered by the software features of FortiOS, VyOS, and JunOS.

Premium VLAN

A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a network construct that makes it possible to create broadcast domains at the OSI Model Layer-2 level.

Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure as a Service

In particular, this offering is focused on US Federal Government customers. IBM Consulting and VSO will provide a hybrid cloud infrastructure as a service (HCIaaS) offering with a cost-per-unit model on the C2E vehicle.

Virtual servers

A family of configurable multi-tenant virtual Power servers with access to services that seamlessly move and manage workloads across both cloud and on-premises environments.
