Has strengthened data protection by encrypting existing keys and enabling multi-platform integration
The most valuable capability for Thales Luna HSM is saving the keys, migrating and encrypting them by adding encryption above the encryption they are already encrypted with. Migrating the keys from the safe and from the databases is a huge processing task, and it works smoothly without any issues. Sometimes we face issues while integrating with new databases, but it almost works smoothly without any problems or challenges. The data encryption capabilities of Thales Luna HSM improve data security for our customers by encrypting the keys that are already encrypted in the database with multiple algorithms such as RSA, MD5, and SHA. Data encryption capabilities improve security by protecting the keys, migrating the keys to the HSM, and allowing us to take a backup from Thales Luna HSM or migrate the keys. By encrypting the keys that are already encrypted, it adds a new layer of security that can save the databases from being compromised if someone hacked it, as they will not find the keys. They will only find the database that is encrypted without any keys that can help them. They will not compromise the data and the keys in the same safe or in the same partition. This is the most valuable aspect of the HSM, specifically Thales Luna HSM, along with other capabilities such as digital signature functionality. Thales Luna HSM integrates with multiple security platforms such as F5, Palo Alto, and SIM solutions such as any syslog server we are working with. SIM solutions work smoothly with it, and it can monitor the HSMs and check their performance easily. Anyone from the security team can check Thales Luna HSM's performance.
