Fujitsu has agreed on a deal with Thales to integrate the security firm\u2019s cloud and encryption services<\/a> into its own portfolio to expand its security offerings to customers in Europe.<\/p>\n

Thales\u2019 Cloud Hardware Security Modules (HSM) and Key Management services will be adopted by the Japanese tech firm, with a view to bolstering its public key infrastructure (PKI)<\/a> based services.<\/p>\n

The security company\u2019s Cloud HSM service, Data Protection on Demand, will be used by Fujitsu within its core security infrastructure in order to provide businesses with a more secure key management service.<\/p>\n

The decision to opt for Thales technology lies in a need for Fujitsu to raise the level of security in its existing customers\u2019 infrastructure and to remain compliant with regulations, the company said.<\/p>\n

The security firm\u2019s Cloud HSM service offered a cost-effective way to provide customers access to a Microsoft certification authority-based PKI regime.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re always looking to ensure our customers have access to the very best security solutions on the market and this partnership with Thales offers exactly that,\u201d said Fujitsu\u2019s security offering architect, Petri Hein\u00e4l\u00e4.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of our customers, a leading European pharmaceutical company, is already benefitting from our adoption of Data Protection On Demand. The client needed to shore up their key management practices, with increased healthcare regulations related to data protection<\/a>, data privacy and audit controls.\u201d<\/p>\n

The partnership has also been strengthened with the launch of an enterprise data encryption<\/a> service that uses Thales\u2019 key management platform.<\/p>\n

The companies claim this platform ensures effective compliance with data protection legislation while offering a secure means of encrypting sensitive business data<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This new service will form part of Fujitsu\u2019s Data Protection suite of services and will be made available to customers across on-premise, hybrid and multi-cloud environments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cData protection is a clear priority for many businesses as they fight to prevent breaches and comply with increasing regulatory requirements,\u201d said Thales\u2019 vice president for encryption solutions, Todd Moore.<\/p>\n

\u201cProtecting core assets such as identities and data using encryption and PKI management should now be the minimum security posture for every organisation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s vital that managed services providers are able to respond to the changes quickly, efficiently and affordably, while meeting the security requirements head on.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
