Once an organization encrypts it data, enterprise security then depends on encryption key management – the ability to generate, distribute, store, rotate, and revoke/destroy cryptographic keys as needed to protect the sensitive information with which they are associated.
With Thales, organizations can centrally, efficiently, and securely manage and store cryptographic keys and policies—across the key management lifecycle and throughout the enterprise. Our Encryption Key Management solutions can manage keys across heterogeneous encryption platforms, offering support for the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) standard as well as proprietary interfaces.
Now, security teams can uniformly view, control, and administer cryptographic policies and keys for all their sensitive data—whether it resides in the cloud, in storage, in databases, or virtually anywhere else.
Customers can store and manage keys in central, hardened appliances, and gain the visibility and control they need to consistently and effectively enforce security controls.
Through secure key storage, high availability, and scalability, Thales solutions help organizations ensure keys are always available - so data is always available.
Administrators can centrally manage keys and policies with more speed, ease, and efficiency. Separating administration of systems and applications from the data stored or processed within these infrastructure layers ensures privileged users can't see sensitive data.
A centralized key management platform enables Thales customers to ensure and demonstrate compliance with stringent data security policies and compliance mandates, such as PCI-DSS for financial data and HIPAA for healthcare information.
Organizations leverage Thales enterprise key management platforms to take advantage of the lower costs and operational agility offered by cloud and virtualized environments, while continuing to consistently enforce security policies.
These Thales enterprise key management platforms enable organizations to institute a defense-in-depth strategy that delivers high levels of security for keys and sensitive data — even if there's been a breach of other controls.
Thales KeySecure enables a single, centralized platform for managing cryptographic keys and applications. As the use of encryption proliferates throughout the corporation, security teams are able to use Thales KeySecure to scale their management of encryption keys, including key generation, key import and export, key rotation, and much more.
Thales Virtual KeySecure is a hardened virtual security appliance that provides a more operation- and expense-friendly alternative. By using a virtual key manager instead of a hardware appliance, organizations can scale key management at remote facilities or in cloud infrastructures such as VMware and AWS Marketplace. Thales Virtual KeySecure allows customers to manage keys, unify encryption, and enforce access control across these virtualized and cloud infrastructures.
A broad range of innovative technology partners utilize Thales Encryption Key Management solutions along with our suite of encyptors to protect their sensitive data in any environment and the encryption keys associated with it.
