Industry Weighs in on Hybrid Approach to HSMs

Organizations like options when it comes to mission-critical security — we know this from experience. For example, many organizations prefer to own and physically oversee their own hardware security modules (HSMs) while seeking the accessibility and convenience of the cloud. A hybrid approach, using both on-premises HSMs and cloud HSMs, allows organizations to construct an "elastic" infrastructure model for scalability, backup, and failover.

Six cryptographic trends we’ll see next year

2020 was a “transformative” year, a year of adaptability and tackling new challenges. As we worked with organizations to deploy mission-critical data security, cryptography was comparatively stable. What cryptographic trends will gain traction in 2021?

How to Implement Global Remote Key Loading from a Single Location

Miura Systems implemented a fully integrated solution in the cloud with Futurex’s VirtuCrypt’s cloud payment hardware security module (HSM) solution. “Implementing cloud-based remote key loading through VirtuCrypt has enabled us to radically streamline the deployment and maintenance of our payment devices across a whole range of geographic markets and customer use cases,” states Darren Shaw, Chief Product Officer at Miura Systems.
