Gemalto's HSM enables Microsoft Azure Information Protection customers to maintain full control of encryption keys
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Organizations can now take advantage of "Hold Your Own Key" capabilities with
on-premises SafeNet Luna HSMs to secure confidential data in Microsoft Azure and
Microsoft Office 365
Amsterdam - Mar. 21, 2017 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world
leader in digital security, today announced that Microsoft Azure Information
Protection customers can now take advantage of the new "Hold Your Own Key"
(HYOK) functionality using Gemalto's SafeNet Luna Hardware Security Modules
(HSMs). The integration allows organizations in highly regulated scenarios to
manage, own and store their encryption keys in on-premises HSMs and securely
share data with complete control over their keys. With this solution,
enterprises can easily align data protection policies and business processes
without compromising the integrity and security of their data.
The SafeNet Luna HSM enables HYOK functionality via native support for
Microsoft's Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS). Companies have
the option to use AD RMS protection policies for 'top-secret' data and Azure RMS
protection policies for sensitive data. Enterprises can use the Azure
Information Protection to enable secure internal and external collaboration. The
SafeNet Luna HSM integration with the Azure Information Protection's HYOK
feature requires no change to the user experience or deployments. Customers
control access to sensitive data by defining protection policies and use rights.
All of the other information protection features, like document tracking and
revocation, are preserved.
"Organizations using Microsoft Azure Information Protection services now have
access to the convenient security features they're used to, without having to
hand over ownership and control of their encryption keys to their cloud
provider," said Todd Moore, SVP of Encryption Products at Gemalto. "Combining
the SafeNet Luna HSM with the Azure Information Protection's HYOK functionality,
customers can continue to deploy customized data protection controls without
compromising security or operational transparency of a user's applications."
Dan Plastina, Partner Director, Information and Threat Protection at Microsoft
Corp. said, "Microsoft Azure Information Protection enables selective use of on-
premises AD RMS services in a Hold-Your-Own-Key configuration (HYOK) for
customers with deeply regulated data. Gemalto's SafeNet Luna HSMs seamlessly
integrate with this hybrid Azure Information Protection configuration providing
customers the full spectrum of specialized protection they need."
Gemalto's SafeNet Luna HSMs are among the highest-performing, most secure and
easiest-to-integrate HSM solutions available on the market today, facilitating
regulatory compliance and delivering the highest data protection for enterprise,
financial and government organizations. Unlike other methods of key storage,
which move keys outside of the HSM into a "trusted layer," SafeNet Luna HSMs
store the keys in hardware to protect the entire key lifecycle.
