Although we do not give much thought to hardware security modules (HSMs), they are a critical element of security in an organisation’s IT infrastructure used for securing sensitive data.

A hardware security module (HSM) is a small device that allows you to create, manage, and store cryptographic keys. They are considered one of the most secure ways to protect sensitive encrypted data.

The underlying hardware security modules (HSMs) in publick key infrastructure (PKI) are the root of trust which protect PKI from being breached. 

The strong cryptography provided by HSMs will become crucial to blockchain-based fintechs as they generate, store and protect the private and public keys that form the ‘root of trust’ in blockchains.

Microsoft provides best practices for the secure planning and deployment of Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) and Web Application Proxy.

Microsoft recommends potentially affected customers use a hardware security module (HSM) to prevent another piece of malware from stealing secrets from AD FS servers.

CREAplus, authorized Utimaco training partner, is going to deliver an online hands-on technical training for hardware security module (HSM), on 3 - 4 March 2022.

In the modern, digital world cryptography is an indispensable tool for protecting our systems and data. Without knowing we rely on cryptography daily, be it to check our email, safely login to a computer, or drive a smart car, since the magic happens in the background, unseen.
