nSHIELD CONTAINER OPTION PACK
Secure, containerized deployment
Containerized applications can be hard to integrate with high-assurance hardware security modules. When the time from staging to production is critical, you need a proven deployment model and scripts that reduce the overall dev cycle. nCOP makes it easy to build HSM support into containerized solutions and provides a template deployment model without the worry of HSM integration.
Container Option Pack Benefits
Works with nShield Connect, enabling secure integration of HSMs via standard interfaces to containerized applications.
The container platform provides dynamic deployment, scalability, and orchestration, and offers access to high-assurance HSMs.
Create new containerized applications, or existing ones that need to integrate with an nShield HSM.
