Microsoft, Marvell and Utimaco launch cloud-scale payment security platform

Microsoft, Marvell and Utimaco have introduced Azure Payment HSM v2, a managed cloud service that combines Marvell LiquidSecurity HSM technology, Utimaco Atalla Payments Module software and Microsoft Azure for payment security.

The companies said the platform offers solutions for financial institutions and payment service providers that need to secure critical payment workloads while meeting PCI requirements, audit and compliance obligations, performance demands and cryptographic key sovereignty requirements without operating dedicated payment HSM infrastructure.

Customers can use Utimaco’s payment security software for card issuance, PIN translation, mobile payments and key management, while Marvell’s HSMs provide hardware-based key protection and high transaction throughput, the companies noted.

Azure delivers the combined technology as a fully managed service, removing the need for customers to deploy and operate dedicated payment HSM infrastructure.

The platform is designed to address rising transaction volumes, fraud threats and regulatory requirements including PCI PIN Security, PCI HSM and regional data sovereignty rules.
