Challenge
Ensuring the security of your company's digital assets has become a paramount concern in today's technological landscape. Whether it's safeguarding classified documents, protecting financial resources, or securing personal identities, you face the constant challenge of preventing unauthorized access and manipulation. Additionally, operational security is crucial, encompassing protection against external intrusions and ensuring the continuous availability of online services. As you navigate these complexities, finding a robust solution that addresses your specific security needs becomes increasingly vital.
Solution
The Primus X-Series HSM offers top-tier security solutions tailored to your needs. It ensures swift and efficient operations up to 1000 RSA-4096 TPS (transactions per second). Its robust architecture enables storage of over 1 million keys across 120 partitions, each with a 240MB capacity.
Beyond key management, it handles authentication, encryption, and more, while allowing you to set up clusters yourself, offering geo-redundancy and load balancing. Partitioning allows support for multiple applications simultaneously, providing a scalable and personalized security solution. With the Primus X-Series HSM, you will confidently navigate IT security challenges, knowing your digital assets are safeguarded according to your needs.
Key Benefits
True Random Numbers Generation (TRNG
High-entropy encryption keys are paramount to provide the highest security. The Primus X-Series HSM has multiple true random number generation (TRNG) modules. They are built up with separate hardware components and get their randomness from different physical noise mechanisms.
Crypto-Agile Architecture
Due to its dynamic architecture, the Primus HSM is quantum computer ready. Should quantum computers make any of the supported algorithms to become obsolete, then a quantum computer safe algorithm may be installed through a firmware upgrade.
API Integration and built-in security
Primus HSM provides a variety of APIs for secure integration and communication, supporting automatic failover, load balancing, and prioritization. High availability and clustering are built-in features, requiring no extra software or cost.
Swiss Made
Crafted entirely in Switzerland, Securosys Primus HSMs embody unmatched quality and reliability. Free from external influences, our Swiss-made HSMs guarantee the highest standards from development to production, ensuring unparalleled security solutions.
