HSM (Hardware Security Module)

An HSM (Hardware Security Module) is a specialized hardware device designed to securely generate, store, and manage cryptographic keys—critical for protecting sensitive data and digital transactions. It provides a highly secure environment where keys are kept isolated from potentially vulnerable systems, preventing unauthorized access or tampering. Used by financial institutions, government agencies, and large organizations, HSMs ensure that encryption processes are safe, compliant with security standards, and resistant to cyber threats, enabling secure communications, payments, and data protection in a trustworthy manner.
