CTO Sessions: Cloud HSM Best Practices

Although federal agencies are deploying cloud solutions at a rapid pace, they are often hesitant to move their core cryptographic infrastructure to the cloud—namely their roots of trust.

Hardware security modules (HSMs) are used as a root of trust and generate, store, protect, and manage cryptographic keys used to secure sensitive data and critical applications. HSMs are traditionally deployed on-premises but they can be safely deployed via the cloud to address certain use cases.

This webcast covered the best practices for deploying a cloud HSM. Thales TCT and XTec’s crypto experts discussed:

• Cloud HSM security and compliance checklist
• Benefits of deploying a cloud HSM
• Cloud HSM best-fit use cases
• Thales TCT’s Luna as a Service FedRAMP® High authorized HSM delivered through AuthentX Cloud
