San Antonio, Texas – January 15, 2024 – Futurex, the global leader in data encryption solutions across diverse industries like finance, healthcare, and government, today announced the official opening of two new, world-class data centers in Brazil. These cutting-edge facilities mark a significant milestone in bolstering top-tier data security within the region, revolutionizing the landscape of cloud-based Hardware Security Modules (HSM) that eliminate significant hurdles typically associated with implementing cloud-based HSM.
These new data centers serve as the latest addition to Futurex’s extensive portfolio and host Futurex’s VirtuCrypt services, designed for cloud payment HSMs and key management. This advancement paves the way for organizations to expedite their cloud migration strategies, unleashing potential by unblocking workloads for payment applications running in public clouds. Furthermore, it significantly fortifies the security of myriad enterprise applications through external key management and encryption capabilities.
As an industry trailblazer in cloud HSM solutions, Futurex’s VirtuCrypt platform offers on-demand provisioning and seamless one-click migration from physical HSM deployments. These recently unveiled data centers play a pivotal role in expediting customers’ time-to-market by offering on-demand HSM for proof-of-concepts, evaluations, and testing.
“Bringing Virtucrypt closer to us isn’t just about proximity, it’s about bridging the gap between potential and performance. The new São Paulo Data Center isn’t just bricks and wires; it’s the heartbeat of seamless connectivity, elevating speeds, and transforming aspirations into accomplishments,” stated Rafael Surkus Silva, IT Head Cards Subsystems & App Security for Santander Bank.
Futurex’s ongoing leadership in the encryption market is underscored by its cutting-edge key management solutions, seamlessly integrating with workloads operating within leading public cloud providers such as AWS and Azure. This integration substantially streamlines key management for both enterprises and mid-market organizations.
The strategic positioning of these data centers ensures superior latency times, often under 10ms, a critical aspect for swift financial transactions and real-time authorizations. Moreover, with operations based in Brazil, Futurex diligently upholds the highest data security standards, meticulously adhering to international and local regulations such as PCI HSM, FIPS 140-2 level 3, LGPD, among others, fortifying the protection of its clients’ invaluable information.
Investing in these new data centers aligns with Futurex’s ambitious expansion strategy. The company is committed to providing cutting-edge security solutions and transaction services throughout the region, supporting organizations of various industries and sizes to pursue secure and efficient operations.
“Our customers need and deserve the highest level of technical solutions, and that is what Futurex is committed to bringing them,” stated Mr. Campa. “Our data centers are just another step forward is Futurex offering the most advanced, easiest to use, most flexible data encryptions in the Latin American market.”
This achievement would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the Futurex team in Latin America, led by Santos Campa, vice president of enterprise sales, LAC, along with the vital contribution of Rafael Silva, solution architect for Latin America, who played a crucial role in executing this project.
