Thales has launched its BYOK Deployment Service Package. The new service offering makes the process of creating and securely transferring keys to Microsoft Azure cloud easy and allows organizations to take advantage of cloud services with greater confidence.

The service package includes an nShield hardware security module (HSM) and the professional services to quickly get you cloud-ready and in control of your sensitive data and keys in the cloud.
Key benefits:
Take advantage of cloud services with confidence
Secure your sensitive data with keys that you fully control and are never visible to Microsoft
Ease of deployment - receive expert guidance on how to securely generate and securely transfer your keys to the cloud

Dan Plastina, Group Manager, Microsoft says:
"The Azure Rights Management service helps customer safeguard their data, both inside and outside of the organization. Our collaboration with Thales on BYOK puts the customer in control of their keys. Organizations can generate their RMS master keys on-premises, using their own Thales HSMs, and then securely transfer those keys to our Azure-hosted Thales HSMs. The new Thales BYOK Deployment Service Package now makes the process of getting started even easier, providing everything that's required to successfully deploy, generate, and transfer your own keys to the Azure cloud."
