nCipher's security solutions deliver a secure, trusted environment for storing and exchanging information across the extended enterprise. Building on a platform of dedicated security hardware they protect the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data, documents and credentials across multiple devices and locations.
Central to strong cryptographic security is the protection of keys within a Hardware Security Module (HSM). nCipher's range of HSMs protects cryptographic keys in a highly secure hardware environment, enabling them to be effectively managed and safely stored. Every nCipher HSM has received an independent FIPS 140-2 security validation, the de facto security benchmark for cryptographic modules.
