Building a secure Hardware Security Module that would protect the encryption keys and online services was extremely important to secure the provider’s customers’ personal and financial data. To implement this, our Senior Consultant, started by working with the client’s infrastructure team to discuss their specific network and security requirements to develop a plan for transitioning from their existing hardware.
Selecting Entrust nShield the hardware security module provided a secure, tamper-resistant environment solution for performing vital cryptographic functions such as generating, managing, and storing encryption keys. This was made possible with F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager, an Application Delivery Controller that enables organisations to optimally direct application traffic and selects the right destination based on server performance, security, and availability, with the added extra to be able to scale, automate, and customise application services faster with more predictability.
