Securosys BYOK | Enhance Cloud Security with BYOK and HSM Integration

Despite the increase of cloud offers, many organizations hesitate to fully embrace cloud solutions due to concerns about security and trust in cloud platforms. While the rapid expansion of cloud services has significantly boosted data storage capacities and processing speeds for sensitive information, it has also made the cloud a prime target for cybercriminals. The increasing frequency of cyberattacks forces organizations to adopt robust cloud data protection and key management solutions.

What is Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)?

Solution

Enhance your organization’s cloud security by integrating CloudHSM or on-premises Primus HSM with Bring Your Own Key (BYOK). This powerful combination gives you control over your encryption keys, helping you achieve regulatory compliance and ensuring the security of your sensitive data with top-tier hardware security module protection.

Our HSMs have a command line tool, which allows the users to perform the BYOK procedure both on AWS Key Management Service (KMS) and Microsoft Azure, making your keys usable across all those cloud providers services and custom applications. This capability provides greater control over the creation, lifecycle management, and durability of your cloud keys. Key importation also helps meet compliance requirements by enabling key generation and storage outside the cloud provider. You can set expiration periods for your imported keys or delete them as needed, with the option to re-import keys after expiration or deletion

Securosys Primus HSM provides a FIPS 140-2 level 3 and Common Criteria EAL 4+ certified hardened hardware boundary, ensuring that your BYOK encryption key is generated using the highest quality key generation practices.

The BYOK process enables you to generate true random keys (TRNG) and store those keys outside the cloud provider, allowing you to meet stringent compliance requirements and maintain control over your encryption keys, even in highly regulated industries.

We offer comprehensive support for integrating AWS or Microsoft Azure BYOK with our HSM. Our downloadable application notes provide a step-by-step procedure, while the Primus-Tools utility streamlines the implementation process.

The integration of BYOK within Securosys Primus HSM allows you to generate and store encryption keys in a certified FIPS 140-2 level 3 and Common Criteria EAL 4+ Hardware Security Module, external to Microsoft Azure or AWS KMS, ensuring complete control over these keys.

Azure Key Vault integrates seamlessly with services like Azure Disk Encryption, SQL Server encryption features, and Azure App Service. By adding the enhanced security provided by Securosys Primus HSM, improve the overall security and compliance across your Azure ecosystem.
