Digital transformation is driving companies to integrate digital technologies into their businesses to create new customer experiences, simplify work, change culture, and meet changing business and market requirements.

The next generation of digital transformation relies on cloud, IoT, and edge computing technologies. Securing the infrastructure, network, devices, applications and data across these systems is complex due to the differing constraints and operational models of each of these computing paradigms.

With the exponential growth of connected devices comes the challenge of ensuring the security, privacy, safety and reliability of the underlying systems and information.

Security has become much more complex as IoT and edge devices reside beyond the firewall in untrusted networks. Virtualized and containerized applications using VMware, Docker, LXC, and Kubernetes are more difficult to secure due to the way microservices and applications are developed, deployed and run in an extensively distributed mode.

This white paper was written to help CIOs, CISOs, COOs, product managers, process engineers, and product security engineers understand how Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) support a variety of well-known and emerging cybersecurity use cases.

It also examines how HSMs help meet compliance needs, easily integrate with common third-party applications, and secure your infrastructure, network, devices, applications and data regardless of where they are located.
