VirtuCrypt … HSMaaS … Walking Your Walk To The Cloud

With more “cloud-adoption” mandates, the shift to the cloud has become inevitable for the financial services sector. In line with this shift, the shift of HSM infrastructure to the cloud has become a “must have” rather than a “nice to have.”

In saying this, most financial services organisations have concerns when moving HSM to the cloud, mainly to do with the level of security and compliance of the cloud HSM, plus the complexity of migrating from an on-premise solution to a cloud-based one.

With its NextGen Cloud HSM “VirtuCrypt”, Futurex provides a solution, which is very secure and feature rich. One that can perfectly complement the organisational cloud transformation initiative.

Due to its seamless integration with multiple cloud providers, VirtuCrypt fits perfectly in a modernised “cloud provider-agnostic” infrastructure. Furthermore, it is PCI HSM and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 compliant.


All VirtuCrypt cloud instances can be monitored and managed through the VirtuCrypt Intelligence Portal (VIP), which provides excellent visibility and control.


The VIP also provides a REST Interface for operational tasks automation. For example, the configuration, cloning and destruction of VirtuCrypt instances can all be easily automated. Moreover, using automation allows you to up or down-scale your multi-cloud deployments as your needs vary.
