Our customers need our solutions to deliver high assurance and absolute trust and Thales HSMs are fundamental to that trust.“Hardware, however, is only part of the story. One of our top priorities was to find a provider who not only had in-depth knowledge of the technology but also of the businesses in which the technology operates and Thales delivers with both the dependable technology and responsive services.”Cindy Provin, president Thales e-Security commented: “The CA business is all about trust and that trust is based on the integrity of a CAs operations.

Thales is particularly proud to provide the level of assurance and reliability required by QuoVadis that enables them to deliver the assurance and reliability their business demands.”
