United States : Thales nShield family of HSMs integrates with SOA Software's API Gateway [TendersInfo (India)](TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Providing improved data protection and threat prevention for mobile, cloud and web applications, a global leader in Critical Information Systems and Cybersecurity, Thales, and SOA Software, an API Management and SOA Governance major , have announced the consolidation of the former's nShield family of hardware security modules (HSMs) with the latter's API Gateway. Digital initiatives are affecting all aspects of life. Companies and governments are being pressurized to provide a richer and more consistent experience to their users across an ever wider range of channels that cover in-store, at home and mobile. Moreover, the chance to monetize digital content through marketing collaborations and commercial ecosystems generates a race to interconnect applications and simplify the implementation and control of consolidated data-based services. This generates the need to manage a multitude of service interfaces (APIs) spanning legacy as well as cutting-edge application technologies, cloud and on-premise based delivery platforms and a range of compliance imperatives. A common thread is the need for an end-to-end, complete data protection strategy that includes robust authentication to control access for users, devices and services coupled with encryption of data in motion and at rest to guarantee confidentiality. The attention of regulators and attackers alike turns to major management and the confidence that these processes are physically and logically secure, as with all encryption based security systems. SOA Software consolidated Thales nShield hardware security modules (HSMs) with the SOA Software API Gateway, to attain a greater level of assurance. Alastair Farquharson, Chief Technology Officer, SOA Software, said : "Increasingly enterprises are opening their applications to partners, developers, mobile apps and cloud services, but by exposing those apps they also become a perfect target for hackers. Thales is the leader in data encryption and cyber security and provides the added assurance of FIPS-compliance to our security conscious customers helping them to safely and securely embrace our API technology." Richard Moulds, Vice President Strategy, Thales e-Security, added : "Exposing applications to cloud and mobile based environments is a business imperative but it dramatically expands the available attack surface and therefore risk. SOA Software helps organizations protect the flow of sensitive data and control access to it. We are excited that SOA Software has embraced Thales HSMs as the most widely accepted best practice to deliver the necessary level of assurance give their customers the most convenient and easily deployed solution."
