Entrust, a leading provider of trusted identities, payments and data protection solutions has announced the geographic expansion of its nShield-as-a-Service hardware security module (HSM) offerings with new data centres located in the European Union, and plans for regional expansion in the Asia Pacific region. nShield cloud HSM integrates with the most widely used applications and cloud services to support a broad range of use cases, including protecting certificates, PKI, database encryption, code signing, digital signing and Blockchain.
Entrust nShield-as-a-Service was launched in 2019, with data centres located in the UK and the US. Entrust is now expanding its service with the official opening of multiple data centre locations in Germany and plans to open data centres in Australia in early 2022. This will enable customers in these regions to take advantage of nShield cloud HSM for their applications while geo-fencing their critical cryptographic keys within their jurisdictions to respond to concerns regarding data sovereignty and facilitate compliance with regional data protection regulations. The use of multiple sites within the countries also helps customers to meet high-availability and Disaster Recovery requirements.
Entrust nShield-as-a-Service delivers the same functionality as on-premises nShield HSMs, in a subscription-based solution. As such, nShield-as-a-Service enables the generation, access and protection of cryptographic key material using dedicated FIPS 140-2 Level 3 and Common Criteria EAL4+ certified nShield HSMs without the need to host and maintain the appliances.
