Own your encryption keys--and prove it with SafeNet Virtual KeySecure 8.3, BYOL Edition. This 64-bit hardened virtual appliance provides centralized key management and can be extended to provide data encryption capabilities. Note: this AMI requires a license from Gemalto to operate. SafeNet key management simplifies the operational challenges of managing encryption keys, making sure keys are secure and information is always available to authorized users. With SafeNet Virtual KeySecure, organizations can quickly deploy centralized key management in high availability, clustered configurations. All key management activities are centralized, including key signing, role-based administration, quorum control, backup and distribution of encryption keys, and has an optional hardware root of trust using SafeNet Hardware Security Modules (HSM) or Amazon CloudHSM service. Meeting compliance in AWS is greatly simplified through verifiable and auditable enterprise key management- all keys, certificates, and passwords are securely managed; key ownership is clearly defined; and key lifecycle management is logged to provide a non-repudiative audit trail. SafeNet Virtual KeySecure integrates with many different solutions, including SafeNet ProtectV, available on the AWS Marketplace at https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00DR0EVUU, SafeNet ProtectFile, SafeNet ProtectApp, SafeNet ProtectDB, SafeNet Tokenization, KMIP-compliant encryption solutions, and many others.
