Entrust announces the integration of its nShield hardware security modules with Microsoft Double Key Encryption.

Double Key Encryption for Microsoft 365 protects a company's highly sensitive data using two component keys - one key that is in the customer's control and a Microsoft key stored securely in Microsoft Azure.

The addition of certified Entrust nShield HSMs to Microsoft Double Key Encryption service accelerates cloud adoption and facilitates auditing and regulatory compliance.

"For customers operating in highly regulated industries, Double Key Encryption provides an extra layer of protection for their most mission-critical data," said Benjy Levin, Program Manager, Microsoft Security at Microsoft Corp. "Double Key Encryption for Microsoft 365 enhances the depth of protection for highly sensitive data to meet specialized requirements, while helping these customers to move to the cloud with greater confidence."

"The integration of Entrust nShield HSMs with Double Key Encryption delivers the additional security capabilities and trust required for continued cloud adoption."

As a Microsoft Gold Partner, Entrust nShield HSMs have helped companies maintain strong controls over their encryption keys for Microsoft applications for more than two decades including SQL Server, Active Directory Certificate Services as well as having pioneered with Microsoft Bring Your Own Key to Azure Key Vault and Microsoft 365.
