The primary use cases for cloud payment HSMs are transaction acquiring and card and mobile issuance, including functions such as point-to-point encryption (P2PE) and database encryption. However, their use cases and deployment models continually evolve to keep pace with modern security needs. Below are examples of how VirtuCrypt cloud payment HSMs may be deployed:
- Full VirtuCrypt cloud: payment application hosted in public cloud with VirtuCrypt cloud HSMs
- Hybrid: on-premises Futurex HSMs and on-premises payment application, with VirtuCrypt cloud payment HSMs for scalability and disaster recovery
- Full public cloud integration: application workloads running in public clouds such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud, with native integration to VirtuCrypt cloud HSMs
