KEY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

Whether you’re operating in a highly regulated environment, or within less- or self-regulated industries, key management is crucial to safe and secure business today.

Less-regulated industries are encountering key management for the first time, adopting technologies and practices to provide protection in an increasingly digital world. But many find this process complex and difficult to manage. We believe there’s another way, and make it easy, safe and affordable for you to embed industry-leading data security into your organization.

 Meanwhile, highly regulated organizations that are used to meeting stricter compliance requirements now face growing challenges of scale:

• Costs of HSMs are high
• Utilization is low
• Integrations can be difficult

 As the volume of keys increases, such organizations are finding it harder to ensure certification and prove compliance with security standards.

That’s why our security and cryptography masters created CrystalKey 360...

A key management platform for all organizations needing to manage keys and demonstrate security compliance. CrystalKey 360 makes data security easy to use and empowers you to keep pace with regulation, cyberthreats and computational and algorithmic advances including quantum computing.

ARE YOU ENCOUNTERING KEY MANAGEMENT AND REGULATION FOR THE FIRST TIME?

 Cryptographic keys are crucial for protecting everything from card payments to cloud services.

In simple terms, these keys are random strings of hundreds or thousands of ones and zeroes that protect digital applications. They come in a variety of flavors depending on functionality, resources, desired performance, or security level, and are essential in providing strong encryption, authentication, integrity and access control.

 For example, there are:

• Symmetric keys: where both parties share a common key, secret to everyone else.
• Asymmetric keys: paired keys, where one is secret (known only to a single entity or user) and one is public.

 Given the complexity and variety of cryptographic keys and how important they are for protecting high-value and sensitive data and communications, it is crucial that they are well managed. Poor key management will leave you vulnerable to criminality or loss of business, and exposed to regulators.

FUTUREPROOFING FOR THE POST QUANTUM WORLD

Today, you not only need the right data security solution in place, but you must ensure it is crypto-agile. Cryptographic algorithms will need to be replaced or enhanced by soon-to-be-standardized quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms. However, even this is no guarantee that they will stand up to quantum computing.

Organizations must therefore be able to change cryptographic parameters or switch entire cryptographic algorithms. Cryptography-as-a-Service – which has the ability to change cryptographic algorithms and keys without changing the applications at the code level – enables resistance to new risks like quantum computing, without causing business disruption.

Cryptomathic’s CrystalKey 360 platform provides a single space to manage and address all security decisions related to cryptographic keys – including multi-cloud setups – to help all kinds of organizations speed up deployment, deliver speed and agility, and minimize the costs of compliance and key management.
