nCipher netHSM
Shared security module
nCipher netHSM enables you to deploy powerful encryption across your enterprise. It gives you greater control over critical information and who has access to it. The nCipher netHSM can form the core of a wide-reaching security strategy. Once you've added it to your network, it provides encryption and digital signing services for your most sensitive systems and applications. By eliminating the need to purchase multiple modules and install them on different servers, the nCipher netHSM keeps deployment and operation costs low. It's designed to easily fit your existing infrastructure and scale to meet your encryption needs as they grow. FEATURES DOCUMENTS TO DOWNLOAD Strong, centralized protection. The nCipher netHSM enables you to centralize the management of your encryption keys and functions by providing services for multiple servers. Secure processing. Encryption, decryption, digital signing, and data processing take place securely within the device. This provides a trustworthy environment for critical executable code and sensitive information. Validated security. The security features of the nCipher netHSM are FIPS-validated and under evaluation for Common Criteria. That means it's preapproved for use in public sector and high-security environments. Easy integration. Integrates with leading enterprise applications out of the box, so deployment is fast and cost-effective. Ready for web services. Handles increasing demand for shared encryption services in service-oriented architectures (SOAs). Flexibility. The standards-based nCipher netHSM nCipher netHSM supports virtualized servers, making it highly flexible and scalable. SPECIFICATIONS Available speed variants nCipher netHSM 500 nCipher netHSM 2000
