UK-based information systems and communications security company Thales has launched payShield 9000, its latest suite of payment hardware security modules (HSMs).

The payShield 9000 security platform is designed to secure card payment systems by protecting cryptographic keys and other sensitive information such as customer PINs and cardholder data. Thales’s payment HSM supports the resiliency needs of high-capacity shared infrastructures while also delivering high-volume processing capabilities, processing up to 1,500 transactions per second (TPS).

Thales Remote HSM Manager allows the secure remote management of devices, reducing operational costs for customers with remote or multiple HSM sites. payShield 9000 can be shared between different applications by cryptographically isolating the keys each application uses. Each set of keys can be independently administered by different areas of the business.

Thales payShield 9000 also includes a new range of software licenses, enabling card issuers, acquirers, and payment processors, to select specific packages and functionality that match their needs.
