A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is secured hardware in which sensitive (key) material is stored, and encryption keys are generated and managed. For example, the private key of a digital certificate. One function of the HSM is to separate the encryption keys from the data and application. Hardware Security Modules can be used to secure any environment, meet compliance requirements, create trust and accelerate digital transformation. Very important, because hackers look for these encryption keys to steal your trade secrets and data.
