The increasing use of encryption for data protection -- whether on-premise or in the cloud -- creates a significant cryptographic key management challenge.   Thales delivers comprehensive, centralized, hardened key management with full support for the widely accepted OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP).  Learn more!

This report, published in February 2013, provides in-depth information about the evolving role of encryption and how its use results in an improved security posture.  The study reveals interesting trends regarding use cases and applications where encryption is typically deployed, and recognition of the criticality of developing a sound key management strategy.

The unique Thales Security World architecture provides the industry’s most flexible and easy-to-use cryptographic key management framework to ensure your data protection requirements can be met. This paper describes the Thales approach to total key lifecycle and policy management for HSMs and details both the design philosophy and operational benefits.

Organizations continue to increase their investment in encryption, and are benefiting from an improved security posture as a direct result. This research report examines how organizations go about protecting information entrusted to cloud providers. Its findings demonstrate the relationship between encryption and a strong cloud security posture.
