SafeNet Crypto Hypervisor

Tasks of the solution SafeNet Crypto Hypervisor - data loss prevention that allows corporate customers to virtualize in an effective way the cryptographic resources, supports a possibility of expansion, guarantees safe data encryption even at migration in the virtualized environment.

Using the solution SafeNet Crypto Hypervisor of IT department and service providers will be able to perform as required delivery of services of storage of adaptive keys (elastic key vaulting) and services of enciphering for data protection in physical, virtual and cloud environments not in days as was earlier, and in minutes. The services of highly reliable enciphering implemented in a system completely meet requirements imposed to cloud models. A system provides all advantages of virtualization in terms of cost optimization and increase in level of innovations, without prejudice to security and with full compliance with the set requirements. At the same time the full centralized control of delivery of services of enciphering, such as safe storage of keys is retained. The user receives full control over the services of enciphering and can be sure that its encryption keys are not available to other users or to system administrators.

"Though enciphering even more often meets in the IT expert of the companies, the data security completely depends on security of keys using which these data are protected, – Christian Christiansen says (Christian A. Christiansen), the vice president of IDC for products and services of security in IDC. Storage of keys on the specialized hardware, for example, on hardware securities, is the most preferable advanced practice. However still hardware solutions of enciphering did not differ in sufficient dynamism and flexibility which are necessary in the virtualized and cloud environments. Deployment of the virtual application requiring enciphering, the signed digital certificates or other PKI functions often increased project deadlines for several days, and even weeks".

The solution SafeNet Crypto Hypervisor allows to cope with these tasks thanks to expansion and virtualization of hardware security of SafeNet Luna SA 5 Hardware Security Module (HSM) at the expense of what it can be used in IT models with a virtual and cloud environment. Administrators of the cryptographic systems can manage and configure on a centralized basis the solution Crypto Hypervisor through command center of SafeNet Crypto Command Center. At the same time administrators can create directories of the services available in Crypto Hypervisor, and users can browse the personalized directories of those services for which deployment they have rights via the web portal. These users can use services necessary for them in the mode on demand on the general physical equipment. This process allows to reduce terms of deployment of new services from several days to several minutes.

The solution SafeNet Crypto Hypervisor provides to customers the following advantages:

• Cryptographic services compatible to a cloud environment: The solution Crypto Hypervisor created for cloud model allows the organizations to consolidate loading on enciphering implementation, to eliminate, so-called, "islands of enciphering" and to ensure safer and effective functioning. The organizations can use only five percent from today's number of units of the used hardware for implementation of the same amount of services of enciphering.
• Decrease in the total cost: At primary initialization the directory of services of enciphering can be defined by a central group of administrators. After that, different users from the different organizations can order these highly reliable services of the protected storage of keys as required directly from this online directory. As a result new services which delivery usually required several days or even weeks can be implemented in several minutes, without intervention of the central IT organization now.
• Centralized operation: The command center of Crypto Command Center allows to work with hundreds of independent virtualized hardware modules of HSM. At the same time for all functions audit with fixation of attempts of unauthorized access and maintaining magazines of access with the digital signature is implemented. Similar centralized operation and journalizing will allow customers to create the centers of advanced technologies in the field of enciphering and to optimize audit processes.

The safest technology of storage of keys: The solution Crypto Hypervisor represents the virtualized version of the reliable and checked hardware securities of SafeNet Luna HSMs which are daily used for protection of financial transactions with aggregate daily turnover more than 1 trillion dollars today; provide availability at the level of 99.999% and to which trust the enterprises and the governments worldwide.
