Building Highest Levels of Trust for Cloud Environment

Gemalto launches first HSM purpose-built for hardware-based key management in the cloud

Gemalto has launched 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. The new SafeNet Luna SA delivers the performance and scalability required to protect the most demanding cloud applications and allows service providers to offer the highest levels of trust for their cloud environments by giving businesses total ownership of their encryption keys.

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. Organizations can now also benefit by being able to choose the appropriate data encryption strategy for their business whether that be on premise, cloud-based, or hybrid key management and storage solutions.

“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. “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.”

Todd Moore, vice president of product management Encryption Products at Gemalto. “With our new SafeNet Luna SA, we are opening up a significant opportunity for service providers to grow revenue by offering customers the ability to control their keys and thereby bring more sensitive data and workloads to the cloud.”

The new SafeNet Luna SA expands Gemalto’s portfolio of encryption, key management and crypto management products that can be deployed by service providers to enable greater levels of security in their cloud environments
