nSHIELD AS A SERVICE
Own the keys, not the HSM
nShield as a Service is a subscription-based solution for generating, accessing, and protecting cryptographic key material, separately from sensitive data, using dedicated FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified nShield Connect HSMs. The solution delivers the same functionality as on-premises HSMs and the benefits of a cloud service deployment, without the need to host and maintain the appliances.
Customers can access the cloud-based HSM via a TCP/IP connection from Entrust's Security World Client software using Entrust’s nSaaS Direct solution or via https to Entrust’s Web Services platform using Entrust’s nSaaS Web solution.

Ready for migration or a mixed approach
Because nShield as a Service benefits from the same unique Security World architecture as on-prem nShield deployments, you can easily migrate your cryptographic operations from on-prem to the cloud, or use a hybrid approach, mixing both cloud-based and on-prem nShield HSMs for increased redundancy and reliability.

Entrust Cloud Concierge Service
Looking for a pain-free migration without the hassle? The Entrust Cloud Concierge service delivers a seamless transition from your on-premises nShield HSM estate to nShield as a Service. Our Professional Services team will work with you to plan and execute the smooth migration of your existing keys, clients, and applications.
