Security Expertise nCipher's Professional Services organizations offers a wide range of services to help secure your business. This is particularly true when the server itself is outside of your control. However, as the deployment of online systems becomes more complex through the adoption of outsourced services, sophisticated electronic supply chains and complex network infrastructures, gaps in security measures can arise and create vulnerabilities.
Trusted agents deliver operational freedom without weakening security.
At the heart of this approach is the ability to protect the application itself, whenever and wherever it is executed. Specifically, unattended server environments that rely on encryption for privacy, authentication, and non-repudiation are particularly susceptible to attacks, in which corrupted code resident on the host computer could use private keys in unauthorized ways. Using nCipher's CodeSafe to host application-specific processes inside the trusted hardware security perimeter of the HSM can ensure that this sensitive application code is also trustworthy. CodeSafe's management facilities enable authority to be delegated to software that is being executed on your behalf. With CodeSafe, you can create Trusted Agents, which consist of computer code that is given rights to perform cryptographic operations on unattended servers.
