Hardware Security Modules (HSMs):
Secure Your Enterprise Against Today's Encryption Crisis
Table of Contents
Encryption is the foundation of enterprise security.
Encryption is the foundation of enterprise security. Without it, sensitive data, transactions, and identities are at risk.
But here’s the challenge:
- Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever.
- Compliance regulations are getting stricter.
- Legacy encryption systems are too slow and inflexible.
Modern Hardware Security Modules provide the secure backbone for your entire cryptographic infrastructure - from robust encryption key generation and lifecycle management to advanced vaultless tokenization capabilities.
Futurex Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) seamlessly integrate PKI and CA functions while providing the application-level encryption essential for protecting data in transit and at rest, creating a unified security framework that scales with your enterprise needs.
If your cryptographic estate isn’t properly secured, your entire security strategy is vulnerable.
That’s why numerous top 10 global banks, fintech companies, and leading global enterprises trust Futurex Hardware Security Modules (HSMs).
- Fastest HSM in the industry – 100,000 transactions per second (TPS)
- Only cloud HSM provider with a decade of expertise – ensure regulatory compliance and reduce latency while improving HA/DR
- Seamless cloud and on-premises security – Hybrid encryption solutions for AWS, Google, Azure, and private data centers
- Only HSM provider with up to 75 virtual HSMs per host – with support for different firmware in each instance
- Built-in compliance – FIPS 140-2 Level 3, PCI-HSM, PCI-DSS, PCI-PIN, PQC, GDPR, LGDP, eIDAS, HIPAA, and more
- Only HSM provider with a single unified platform – no more silos built from multiple acquisition products
- Only HSM provider built, designed, and wholly owned in the USA

What is an HSM? Why It’s Critical for Data Security
A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is a highly secure, tamper-resistant device that protects encryption keys, performs cryptographic operations, and ensures secure data processing.
In simpler terms:
An HSM is the brain of your encryption strategy. It secures, processes, and protects thousands of transactions per second.
Why every enterprise needs Hardware Security Modules
- Banks & Payments – Secure PIN encryption, card transactions, and mobile payments
- Retail & Fintech – Protect POS systems, gift card programs, and loyalty transactions
- Cloud Security – Encrypt data across AWS, Azure, Google, and hybrid environments
- Enterprise PKI & IoT – Manage digital certificates, secure connected devices, and authenticate transactions
- Government and Defense – Digital identities, PII, sensitive data, and secure object signing
- Telecom – Surpass FCC-approved STIR/SHAKEN requirements
- Healthcare – Comply with HIPAA and HITECH requirements
- Utilities and Smart Grid – Protect CEUD, PII, and data endpoints
Not all Hardware Security Modules are created equal.
