The nShield Difference: Security World
Only nShield HSMs feature Security World, a specialized architecture that provides unmatched capabilities in several crucial areas:
Security World provides strong, granular controls over the access and usage of keys and policies.
Unlike alternatives that require backup HSMs and labor-intensive HSM cloning, Security World enables simple, automated backups of HSM files.
Security World delivers unlimited key storage and the flexibility needed to align your HSM operations with your organization’s specific needs.
nShield HSMs can be managed centrally based on unified policy and operational administration, no matter how many nShields you deploy.
Unique nShield Benefits
Combine nShield HSM models to build a unified ecosystem that delivers scalability, seamless failover and load balancing.
Three models with multiple performance tiers, including a wide range of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) options that deliver industry-leading transaction rates.
The CodeSafe option lets you execute code within nShield boundaries, protecting your applications and the data they process.
