Across every industry, data drives decisions, innovation, and growth. As organizations modernize with hybrid cloud and AI, the risks to that data scale are just as fast. From sophisticated cyberattacks to increasingly stringent compliance demands, the evolving threat landscape requires more than a reactive defense. It requires a proactive and strategic approach. That’s why Thales and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) have collaborated to deliver strategic, scalable, integrated security that empowers enterprises to stay one step ahead.
Data Security is Not Optional — It's Mission Critical
Modern enterprises are built on data. Whether it's customer information, intellectual property, or operational insights, protecting data at rest, in motion, and in use is vital for data security. As workloads span on-premises infrastructure, hybrid cloud, private cloud, and multi-cloud environments, siloed security models are no longer viable. Customers turn to trusted leaders like Thales and HPE not just for their technologies, but for the confidence they inspire.
Thales and HPE: A Strategic Alliance for Cyber Resilience
The Thales and HPE collaboration offers an integrated approach to data security. Rooted in a shared commitment to innovation and customer success, our joint solutions enable organizations to meet the growing demands for security and compliance. At the center is the Thales CipherTrust Data Security Platform (CDSP), the industry’s most advanced data security platform. It is tightly integrated across HPE GreenLake, storage, compute, networking, and services, and delivers centralized key management, secrets management, security root of trust, data discovery and classification, encryption, tokenization, and access controls seamlessly integrated within HPE's hybrid cloud architecture.
Comprehensive Security Cloud-Driven World
As digital transformation accelerates across hybrid, multi-cloud, and edge environments, securing data everywhere it lives or moves is more critical than ever. Thales and HPE jointly deliver enterprise-grade solutions designed for this reality:
- Support for compliance and data sovereignty requirements
- Deep integration with HPE GreenLake and hybrid cloud services
- Unified, centralized key management across diverse infrastructures
- End-to-end data encryption and high-speed network protection
- Hardware-based root of trust with Thales Luna Hardware Security Module (HSM)
Built for Compliance: Meeting Global Standards with Confidence
Regulatory compliance is a top priority for organizations navigating today’s complex digital landscape. HPE and Thales make it easier with integrated data and application security solutions that align with the world’s most stringent standards, including GDPR, NIS2, DORA, PCI-DSS, EUCS, and France’s SecNumCloud. Through Thales CDSP and HPE’s secure infrastructure, customers gain the encryption, access control, key management, and audit capabilities required to efficiently demonstrate compliance, reduce risk, and maintain business velocity.
Empowering Sovereignty with Trusted Cloud and Data Control
Digital Sovereignty is now a top concern for governments and regulated industries. HPE’s Sovereign Cloud and Disconnected Cloud offerings enable customers to maintain complete jurisdictional control over their data, even in highly restricted or air-gapped environments. Thales enhances this with robust encryption and key management, ensuring sensitive data remains confidential and under customer control, not the cloud provider’s—the result: sovereignty compliance without sacrificing the scale, speed, or flexibility of modern cloud architectures.
Securing HPE GreenLake and Hybrid Cloud with Thales
The hybrid cloud is key to modern IT strategy, but it also introduces new complexity in data security. Thales provides broad, integrated protection for HPE GreenLake environments, ensuring data security from the data center to the edge. With CDSP, organizations gain consistent encryption, access controls, data discovery, and centralized key management across HPE GreenLake’s entire as-a-service portfolio, enabling secure scaling without compromise.
Centralized Key Management Across Any Environment
Encryption is essential, but managing keys across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments is where many organizations struggle. Thales simplifies this with CDSP’s centralized key management CipherTrust Manager (CM), providing security teams with unified visibility and control over encryption keys across the entire enterprise. Integrated with HPE ProLiant Gen12, HPE Alletra Storage, HPE GreenLake, and orchestration platforms like HPE Morpheus, this approach strengthens posture while streamlining operations and reducing risk.
End-to-End Data Protection with Thales Encryption
Thales delivers encryption that scales with your data — at rest, in transit, and in use. As part of the CDSP suite for HPE GreenLake, Thales offers a broad range of Encryption products, including CipherTrust Transparent Encryption, CipherTrust Database Protection, and CipherTrust Application Data Protection, that help to deliver unmatched data protection for HPE GreenLake customers by securing databases, applications, file servers, and storage across on premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. For high-performance environments, Thales High Speed Encryptors (HSE) secure data in motion across global networks without sacrificing speed. Its end-to-end encryption is designed for the pace and complexity of modern enterprise IT.
Establishing a Strong Security Root of Trust with Thales Luna HSM
Trust begins at the hardware level. Thales Luna Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) provide the foundation for cryptographic trust across HPE infrastructure, including GreenLake, compute, storage, networking, and HPE Zerto Software. Luna HSMs generate and safeguard keys in FIPS-certified, tamper-resistant environments, enabling secure boot, workload protection, and cryptographic operations across hybrid environments with confidence and compliance.
Innovating for Tomorrow: Emerging Use Cases in Focus
As threats evolve, so must the security technologies we rely on. Thales and HPE are actively collaborating on future-focused use cases, including post-quantum cryptography (PQC), AI security, confidential computing, and application-level protection. These innovations build on the strength of Thales' security solutions and HPE’s infrastructure, ensuring that customers remain secure as they adopt next-gen architectures and capabilities. Thales and HPE are committed to delivering comprehensive security solutions that address the complexities of modern IT environments, enabling organizations to navigate the future of digital transformation confidently.
