IDEMIA Secure Transactions Enters the $1.2B Hardware Security Module Market with a Revolutionary, Sovereign, and Energy-Efficient Solution
Hardware Security Module (HSM)
Safeguard all your sensitive data and transactions with a matrix of Secure Elements
IDEMIA Sphere Hardware Security Module transforms the way organizations secure their most critical data and transactions. It reinvents hardware security by replacing the limitations of traditional, monolithic Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) with a distributed architecture built on a matrix of Secure Elements (SEs). Instead of relying on a single cryptographic processor, IDEMIA Sphere HSM deploys a scalable farm of SEs, each one a tamper-resistant microcontroller capable of both protecting cryptographic keys and executing cryptographic operations.
Reduce your total cost of ownership
IDEMIA Sphere HSM’s pay-as-you-grow model allows you to scale security capacity incrementally by adding Secure Elements as needed, reducing initial capital investment. By cutting power consumption by 50%1 compared to conventional HSMs and eliminating the need for fans or batteries replacement, its unique architecture ensures a low environmental footprint while offering flexible installation options, such as secure cold storage. With reduced operating expenses and simplified maintenance, it delivers a fundamentally more cost-efficient solution to hardware security, making it the smarter choice for modern infrastructures.
Ensure sovereignty and compliance
Engineered, designed, and pre-configured in France, IDEMIA Sphere HSM gives you full control over your cryptographic infrastructure and keys, ensuring sovereignty, transparency, and trust in mission-critical systems. The platform aligns natively with stringent European data protection and security directives, making it a natural fit for organizations that must balance operational efficiency with regulatory compliance.
Anticipate quantum-era challenges
The rapid expansion of critical digital services in the financial, telecom, healthcare and public sectors underscores the need for infrastructures that not only meet today’s compliance requirements but are also resilient against future cryptographic challenges. Post-quantum ready by design, IDEMIA Sphere HSM, deployed on-premises or in the cloud, equips you to defend against both today’s threats and tomorrow’s quantum-era challenges.
