SafeNet Announces Crypto Hypervisor
April 2013 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
As part of its Secure Breach strategy, SafeNet announced limited availability of the SafeNet Crypto Hypervisor.
With the SafeNet Crypto Hypervisor, IT departments and service providers can deliver on-demand, elastic key vaulting and encryption services for data protection across physical, virtual, and cloud environments in minutes instead of days.
SafeNet’s Crypto Hypervisor provides customers with the following benefits:
– Cloud-compatible crypto: Built for the cloud operational model, the Crypto Hypervisor enables organizations to consolidate crypto efforts, eliminate ‘islands of encryption’, and create a more secure and efficient operation.
– A catalogue of encryption services can be defined by the centralised administration team. Now, different users in different organisations can order these high-assurance key vault services on demand from this online catalogue. New services that used to take days or even weeks to deliver can now be enabled within minutes, and without the intervention of a centralised IT organisation.
– Central control: The Crypto Command Centre can manage hundreds of independent virtualised HSMs. Strong audit controls with tamper-evident, digitally-signed logs are maintained for all functions.
– The Crypto Hypervisor technology virtualizes the field-proven and trusted SafeNet Luna HSMs.
SafeNet’s Crypto Hypervisor runs on SafeNet Luna SA 5 HSM hardware, which is currently available. The Crypto Command Centre bundle is orderable now for future delivery. Luna 5.2 HSM software and Crypto Command Centre are available now on a limited basis for select customers.
