One platform for securing digital assets across various industries and geographic regions amidst evolving regulatory environments.

• Support for multi-tenant environments with diverse applications. 

• Exceptional performance for securing digital business. 

• Highest security standards with enhanced physical protection. 

• Built-in crypto-agility for long-term use. 

CREAPLUS, the leading Slovenian provider of digital business protection solutions, announced that Utimaco has offered a new generation of hardware for secure digital business, the Utimaco u.trust General Purpose HSM CSe-Series. Compared to the previous generation of hardware security modules, it offers even stronger physical protection and numerous improvements, solidifying the CSe-Series as the first choice for protecting digital business and processes in the most demanding business environments. 

“The new generation of Utimaco hardware security modules ensures effective and highly efficient protection of digital content and transactions in organizations’ operations in critical sectors, regardless of the specificity of their internal and external processes, regulations, and locations. Due to multi-tenancy support, these products are especially suitable for trust service providers, payment traffic, and other secure digital services, including cloud application providers,” said Mitja Trampuž, Director of CREAPLUS, a strategic partner of Utimaco with added value, responsible for distributing its hardware security modules and for the development and implementation of secure digital solutions. 

u.trust GP HSM CSe-Series hardware security modules are designed to meet the growing security and compliance demands across various industries, from financial institutions and payment service providers, energy, telecommunications, and manufacturing, to trust service providers, digital infrastructure, and applications. It combines Utimaco’s long-standing best practices in hardware security module production with advanced active physical protection against unauthorized access, scalable multi-tenant environments, and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness, thus setting a completely new industry standard for highly secure hardware security modules.

The u.trust CSe-Series of hardware security modules is built for users who require the highest level of trust – even in environments with little or no physical oversight. Numerous use cases include: 

• unattended or non-access-controlled environments such as securing data in outdoor installations (wind mills, parking systems, highway toll collection systems and more);
• public key infrastructure (PKI) root certificate authority (CA) deployments;
• industry-specific applications, such as supporting the widespread Smart-Meter-Gateways (SMGW) rollout, mandated by regulators to enhance energy efficiency grid stability, and secure communication between energy providers and households;
• telecommunications solutions, securing SIM/eSIM provisioning and network authentication;
• automotive manufacturers protecting over-the-air software updates and securing vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication;
• healthcare providers safeguarding patient records, electronic prescriptions, and digital medical devices;
• HSM fleet standardization across payment and general-purpose use cases. 

Key advantages of the Utimaco u.trust General Purpose HSM CSe-Series devices include: 

• advanced physical protection: Tamper foil technology reacts instantly to mechanical, chemical, or physical intrusion attempts, erasing sensitive data;
• pending certifications: Designed to meet FIPS 140-3 Level 4, PCI v4, and DK standards;
• multi-tenancy at scale: Up to 31 fully isolated containerized HSMs in one device;
• crypto-agility: Future-proof with upgradeable post-quantum cryptography;
• high performance: Up to 5,000 RSA 2K signatures/sec and 25,000 ECC signatures per second.

As Trampuž further emphasized, the CSe-Series devices are not just an upgrade from previous CryptoServer GP HSM CSe devices but a completely new generation that meets strategic use cases for clients who purposefully invest in the development of cybersecurity and resilience. With the unique combination of active physical protection, multi-tenancy, and readiness for the post-quantum era, the CSe-Series provides clients with complete confidence in safeguarding their most valuable digital assets in any environment.
