Direct integration with public clouds
Improve connectivity and unify data with cloud-hosted applications spanning multiple clouds to a single Cloud Payment HSM estate using VirtuCrypt CryptoTunnels.
As payment technology continues to evolve, fully-managed Cloud Payment HSMs provide the security, performance, and scalability needed to protect critical financial data. Organizations can quickly deploy our highly available, enterprise-grade cloud HSM service which utilizes PCI HSM and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated hardware to cryptographically secure financial data in transit and at rest.
- Rapid deployment of secure, scalable cryptographic infrastructure
- Supplement existing on-premises HSM ecosystems
- Direct integration with major public cloud providers
VirtuCrypt financial cloud HSMs are cloud-hosted Futurex HSMs, all validated under FIPS 140-2 Level 3 and PCI HSM standards, that can perform cryptographic operations for transaction processing and acquiring, card and mobile issuing, and Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE). Through VirtuCrypt, financial organizations can utilize cloud-based Futurex HSMs while reaping the benefits of hosting in the cloud – complete flexibility, customization, reduced cost – as well as maintain the high standard of hardware security and encryption capabilities.

As more businesses grow globally connected, the demand for cloud computing has increased. According to Gartner, the market for public cloud services is expected to reach $266.4 billion in 2020, growing 17 percent from the previous year. The threats against data security are growing as well, and users need protection without sacrificing cost and efficiency. An increasingly popular choice for public cloud usage is direct integration with other services and applications housed outside the public cloud itself. Integrating on-premises hardware with cloud-based applications or connecting Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions to separate cloud applications, has allowed for sharing and unifying data and improving connectivity and visibility.
Financial services providers continue to migrate business and payment applications to the cloud for increased productivity, decreased overhead, and many other benefits. Outsourcing encryption and key management to Cloud Payment HSMs has become an increasingly popular choice as businesses reap the many benefits of hosting both applications and HSMs in the cloud.
Fast & flexible deployment
Rapidly customize and deploy Cloud Payment HSMs to support financial encryption, increase system redundancy, or easily back up and clone Cloud HSMs without compromising on complexity or security.
Lower total cost of ownership (TCO)
Organizations avoid the high cost of purchasing and maintaining cryptographic hardware appliances which is a large cost center that prevents many businesses from expanding their HSM usage.
In addition to throughput, organizations can choose from different redundancy options. Having a single HSM at one site offers no redundancy. With site redundancy, two HSMs are active at one site, which increases the dependability of the system. A step up from that is full redundancy. With four HSMs at two different sites, the system is completely protected against hardware failures and data loss due to a lack of backup.
High availability goes beyond redundancy and can only be achieved through eliminating single points of failure, having reliable crossover or failover points, and reacting to failures in real-time. Configure your infrastructure to be highly available by configuring & automating redundant cloud HSMs with SLA-backed uptime.
In order to further our knowledge of up-and-coming compliance standards for the industries we serve as well as show our commitment to meeting these mandates, Futurex is a member of the following standards committees:
Accredited Standards Committee X9
This standards committee is known for developing regulations for the financial services industry in order to strengthen the protection of sensitive financial data. Futurex holds a membership on this committee to represent our customers and partners’ needs and help to continually enhance the state of regulatory compliance within the industry.
PCI Security Standards Council
The PCI council is a global agency that develops and raises awareness for security standards, including the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) and PIN Transaction Security (PTS), for merchants, vendors, and security consulting companies. Futurex is a member of this council so that we are able to have a hand in the alleviation of data breaches and the prevention of fraudulent payments.
Conexxus
Conexxus is a member-driven, non-profit technology organization dedicated to developing and implementing standards, technologies, innovation, and advocacy for the retail industry, specifically focusing on the convenience store and petroleum market. Futurex holds a membership on this committee because Conexxus members collaborate on key industry challenges and innovations, both present and future.
