Thales helps secure Microsoft’s next-generation cloud service
November 2013 by Marc Jacob
Thales announces that its nShield hardware security modules (HSMs) have been deployed by Microsoft to provide enhanced security for Microsoft Rights Management service (Windows Azure RMS). The new online offering – a cloud-based digital rights management system – forms the core of a new secure collaboration service accessible from anywhere, by anyone and supporting a multitude of document formats.
Until now rights management has mainly focused on infrastructure deployed within the enterprise over which an organization had complete control. By shifting to a cloud-based model customers now have the ability to dramatically expand accessibility and ease of use – particularly when collaborating with parties outside their own network and across today’s highly dispersed organizations. However, the issue of control and security is still paramount.
