Improved configuration, scalability and availability of nShield
Connect XC benefits cloud, IoT and blockchain HSM deployments

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–RSA Conference 2019 – nCipher
Security, the provider of trust, integrity and control for business
critical information and applications, announces enhanced remote access
to the crypto capabilities delivered by its nShield Connect XC hardware
security modules (HSMs). As customers increasingly rely on HSMs to
provide a root of trust for their cloud applications, IoT, and
blockchain, nShield Connect XC allows them to quickly and easily scale
their security capabilities and remotely configure and expand their HSM
estates. This reduces downtime, increases efficiency, and eliminates
physical data center visits.

Faced with growing demands to protect critical applications and data,
control access to that data and secure communications, organizations are
increasingly relying on HSMs for trusted encryption and digital signing.
According to the 2018
Global Encryption Trends Study, 60% of enterprises have moved to a
private cloud, crypto-as-a-service model where HSMs are pooled, often in
remote, lights-out data centers, with individual application teams
subscribing to their services.

nShield Connect XC’s remote configuration and high availability update
allows customers to dynamically scale their security capabilities,
incorporating HSM-strength security as a root of trust for many of
today’s applications, including PKI, privileged access management,
database encryption and TLS/SSL. HSMs can also establish a root of trust
for IoT devices and protect blockchain signing keys and consensus logic.
Organizations benefiting from this update include those with existing
HSM estates deployed across multiple data centers who wish to extend
trusted cryptographic services to new applications.

John Grimm, senior director of strategy and business development,
nCipher Security says:

“These major enhancements, which build on the nShield Connect XC’s
cloud-friendly capabilities, is especially beneficial as more and more
organizations seek to scale their crypto capabilities and advance their
cloud strategies with HSMs that are proven to deliver trust, integrity,
and control. They’re now able to accelerate deployments and maximize
availability for business critical applications.”

The nShield Connect XC remote configuration feature will be available in
Q2 2019.
