Hardware Security Module Market - Concern over Data Breaches and Frequent Cyber-attacks are Expected to Drive
Hardware security module (HSM) is a piece of hardware and associated software/firmware attached to or placed inside a particular hardware to serve cryptographic functions. Its functions largely include key management/generation, encryption, decryption, and hashing. HSM systems have the ability to securely back up the keys that they can be handled using some external security token such as smart card or via operating systems of the computer. The market for hardware security module is forecasted to grow to US$ 5,932.4 Mn by 2026, recording a CAGR of 11.5%. The major factor leading to the growth of the hardware security module (HSM) market is growing data security concerns in all the data sensitive companies around the world. Hardware security modules are responsible for efficiently storing and managing cryptographic keys. The HSM performs a number of important security related functions including encryption and message authentication. There are various attributes of an efficien...
