Atos launches hardware security module for security of IoT ecosystems

Atos announced the launch of its new Hardware Security Module (HSM) for IoT, a high-performance security device designed to protect IoT ecosystems through cryptographic features. The new HSM, part of the Horus portfolio, combines ‘as-a-Service’ access, centralized key management system and IoT security services for a fully-integrated solution. The new Horus HSM for IoT by Atos is available for applications running in SaaS mode (software-as-a-service) and enables several tenants to benefit from ultimate encryption as if they had their own dedicated HSM. Indeed, the HSM solution is divided into several ‘security domains’ which can be personalized by each tenant, and act as tamper-proof strongboxes with high levels of isolation between tenants, users and roles. The security teams can remotely manage HSMs without any physical access - which simplifies security management and saves time.
