Futurex Crypto Orchestration and Management

Provision, configure, monitor, back up, load balance, and coordinate distributed HSM infrastructure through a centralized management layer.

Crypto Orchestration and Management for efficient HSM control

At a Glance

CryptoHub centralizes management across physical, virtual, and cloud-hosted Excrypt HSMs through a unified administrative interface, SDKs, and APIs. Built-in reporting, alerting, and SIEM integrations improve operational visibility, while load balancing, automated failover, and disaster recovery support resilient deployments across primary, production, and backup HSM environments.

Bring distributed HSM operations under control

Every HSM added to an estate creates another system to configure, monitor, back up, and audit. As the estate expands across data centers, regions, business units, virtual environments, and cloud capacity, operational load grows with it.

Without a centralized layer, configuration drift becomes harder to control. Backup practices vary by device. Health issues may remain invisible until they affect applications. Keys, certificates, algorithms, and cryptographic libraries accumulate without a complete inventory. Multitenant environments add another coordination problem because each tenant needs isolated capacity and policy.

Crypto Orchestration and Management is the HSM administration capability within CryptoHub. It sits above individual HSMs and centralizes provisioning, configuration, monitoring, backup, load balancing, failover, discovery, and related operating workflows. The managed HSMs perform the cryptographic operations. The orchestration layer coordinates the estate.

Understand how the Futurex components work together

Component Role
CryptoHub The broader platform for HSM orchestration, key management, PKI, certificate authority services, data protection, tokenization, reporting, discovery, and remote key loading.
Crypto Orchestration and Management The capability within CryptoHub that provisions, configures, monitors, backs up, load balances, and coordinates physical, virtual, cloud-hosted, and compatible mixed-vendor HSM infrastructure.
HubIQ Real-time HSM health status, alerting, reporting, SIEM-integrated dashboards, and operational visibility.
CryptoDiscovery Network-wide indexing of cryptographic assets, identification of weak or unmanaged cryptography, and remediation recommendations.
KeyLinx Remote key loading to supported field-deployed Futurex HSMs, reducing the need for site visits during initial deployment, provisioning, and key rotation.

Core operating workflows

Multi-framework compliance for file-based data stores

Centralize policy and administrative control

Manage cryptographic policies, administrative roles, and HSM operations through a single control plane. CryptoHub centralizes configuration, access controls, and operational workflows across physical, virtual, and cloud-hosted Excrypt HSMs, reducing administrative overhead and improving consistency across distributed environments.

Provision and configure virtual HSM capacity

Provision and configure virtual HSM capacity

CryptoHub centralizes virtual HSM orchestration across physical Excrypt HSMs through an administrative panel or SDK. Teams can provision and configure virtual HSMs without touching each device individually. A single physical Excrypt HSM can support up to 75 isolated virtual HSMs for multitenant and multi-application environments.

Load balance and fail over across sites

Load balance and fail over across sites

CryptoHub manages load balancing across up to 75 virtual HSMs per physical Excrypt HSM and extends that coordination into VirtuCrypt cloud HSM capacity. For high availability, CryptoHub organizes managed HSMs into Primary, Production, and Backup roles. It distributes traffic and automatically promotes a Backup HSM when active devices fail health checks. Additionally, VRRP-based virtual IP failover supports failover across sites.

Back up and restore HSM configurations

Back up and restore HSM configurations

HSM Snapshot technology captures baseline configurations and full virtual HSM backups on demand or on a schedule. This helps keep backup environments aligned with production state and supports disaster recovery planning.

Continuous monitoring, alerting, and HSM health reporting through HubIQ

Monitor health, alert, and integrate with your SIEM

HubIQ Reporting provides real-time HSM health monitoring, alerting, and SIEM-integrated dashboards. Administrators can identify degraded devices, failed virtual HSMs, and configuration issues before they become application outages.

Discover cryptographic assets and prioritize remediation

Discover cryptographic assets and prioritize remediation

CryptoDiscovery scans networks, endpoints, and supported cloud provider APIs to index cryptographic assets across the estate. It can identify weak or unmanaged keys, certificates, algorithms, and libraries, then provide remediation recommendations.

Load keys remotely

Load keys remotely

The KeyLinx supports remote key loading across on-premises and cloud HSMs. Organizations can rotate and distribute keys to supported field HSMs without sending personnel to every location, including during initial deployment and provisioning.

Operate mixed-vendor estates during consolidation

Operate mixed-vendor estates during consolidation

CryptoHub can extend indexing, load balancing, and monitoring to compatible non-Futurex HSMs. This supports phased consolidation without forcing immediate hardware replacement across the full estate.

Connect HSM operations to the broader CryptoHub platform

Crypto orchestration and management are capabilities within the broader CryptoHub ecosystem. Teams can connect HSM administration to HSM-backed key management, PKI, certificate authority services, data protection, tokenization, reporting, discovery, and remote key loading. This lets cryptographic infrastructure operate as an enterprise platform rather than a collection of isolated devices and tools.

Operationalize crypto-agility across the fleet

Algorithm migration is as much a fleet coordination problem as a cryptographic one. Excrypt HSMs natively support ML-KEM (FIPS 203) and ML-DSA (FIPS 204) alongside classical algorithms including RSA, ECC, and AES. Centralized orchestration helps teams coordinate configuration changes across the estate instead of repeating the work device by device.

Compliance and audit support

Futurex's crypto orchestration and management capabilities support auditability, consistency, and continuous visibility across HSM estates.

  • FIPS 140-3 Level 3 compliant hardware root of trust on physical HSMs under management
  • Audit logging and application separation across managed devices
  • Key and certificate workflow tracking across the estate through CryptoHub services
  • SIEM integration through HubIQ
  • CryptoDiscovery indexing to support cryptographic inventory and remediation workflows
  • Support for PCI-related key management controls, audit evidence, and operational control visibility

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Crypto Orchestration and Management?

Crypto Orchestration and Management is the centralized HSM administration capability within CryptoHub. It supports configuration, monitoring, backup, load balancing, and coordination across physical, virtual, and cloud-hosted HSM environments.

Does Crypto Orchestration and Management replace individual HSMs?

No. It manages and coordinates HSMs. The HSMs themselves perform the cryptographic operations. 

How is this different from traditional HSM administration?

It provides centralized provisioning, SDK and API-driven workflows, health monitoring, alerting, backup, failover, discovery, reporting, and SIEM integration across the HSM estate.

How many virtual HSMs can be managed on a single physical device?

A single physical Excrypt HSM can support up to 75 isolated virtual HSMs.

Can keys be distributed to remote devices without a site visit?

Yes. KeyLinx supports remote key loading and distribution through supported administrative and deployment interfaces.

How does orchestration help with post-quantum migration?

Centralized orchestration allows teams to coordinate algorithm and configuration changes across the estate rather than updating each HSM individually.

Can it manage cloud HSM capacity?

Yes. CryptoHub coordinates supported HSM management workflows across VirtuCrypt Cloud HSM capacity.

Can it support non-Futurex HSMs?

Yes. CryptoHub can extend supported indexing, load balancing, and monitoring functions to compatible third-party HSMs during phased consolidation.
