ARIA Cybersecurity Solutions Strengthens Relationship with StorMagic to Address the Need for a Secure, High-Performance Hardware Security Module (HSM)
The ARIA microHSM combined with StorMagic SvKMS provides the industry’s simplest to deploy HSM with low turn around latency and high availability at a low price point
BOSTON, Jan. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- , a business (NASDAQ: CSPi) that delivers a software-defined approach for improved cyber-attack incident response, today announced that it had entered an agreement with to utilize its enterprise key management software as part of the solution. This SmartNIC-based HSM provides organizations with a simple to deploy, zero-footprint hardware option for adopting and offloading KMIP-based encryption—locally for their critical applications.
The ARIA microHSM offers four unique capabilities when compared to traditional HSMs:
- First, the microHSM hardware is deployable in any standard PCIe slot found in commercially available servers. Locating HSM functionality directly within the application server that generates and stores data requiring encryption eliminates the need for a costly, higher power consumption standalone racked HSM.
- Local HSM functionality removes the variable to-and-from network latency generated by standalone appliances to increase application performance and response times.
- Offloading encryption from the application server’s CPU host ensures that the keys are not exposed if the server is compromised.
- Finally, today’s HSMs require highly trained staff to deploy, tune and perform upgrades. The ARIA microHSM, leveraging SvKMS, is a plug-and-play solution compatible with any KMIP-based application. For legacy application support, an API is available.
“We’re pleased to continue our partnership with StorMagic,” said Gary Southwell, GM, ARIA Cybersecurity. “Our joint solution not only makes adding encryption easier, but it also brings key generation functions to hard-to-encrypt applications such as VMware, which uses the server’s CPUs to encrypt the data at rest. The ability to use ARIA microHSM as a full HSM, or solely as a secure key generator, gives our customers the flexibility they need in an easy-to-install turn-key solution. When SvKMS is deployed as part of our microHSM solution, now customers have not only offloading capabilities, but also FIPS 140-2 Level 1 compliance, as well as high availability.”
“StorMagic SvKMS provides enterprise cutting-edge key management at a surprisingly low cost for organizations that demand data protection, whether it is onsite, at the edge or in the cloud,” said , CRO, and board member, StorMagic. “We're excited about this joint solution because customers can now get this HSM capability in any standard x86 server.”
