Helsinki, Finland – March 16, 2023 –  The US federal government has shown significant interest in Quantum-Safe communications during 2022, most evidently through Quantum Cybersecurity Preparedness Act, which mandates all electronic communications to be Quantum-Safe after a transition period. The federal government acts as a transformation leader that is followed by other actors in the public sector and even private enterprises.

In the digital age, concerns about data management and privacy are ever-increasing as the volume of data is increasing exponentially. As regulatory compliance and concerns about data privacy grow, it is the job of the IT industry to ensure data security, preventing leakage, through proper implementation of data sanitization procedures and tools.

Compliance mandates require many of our customers in regulated industries or in high-risk environments to prove adequate levels of protection for their data, no matter where it lives or travels. This is why we’ve continued to enhance the capabilities of both the YubiHSM 2 and YubiHSM 2 FIPS, the world’s smallest FIPS-validated and non-FIPS hardware security modules (HSMs). Today, we’re also excited to share that the YubiHSM 2 FIPS now meets FIPS 140-2, Level 3. Jump ahead to the “what’s new” section below to learn about the key new features in our YubiHSM 2 products.
