Industry standards
Simplify industry-specific implementation with industry pack support for standards such as retail (PCI, Sarbanes–Oxley), healthcare (HIPPA & HL7, X12), and supply chain management (EDIFACT).
Hardware Security Module
In highly sensitive applications, cryptographic keys require the enhanced protection of certified FIPS 140-2 Level 2 or Level 3 hardware security modules (HSMs). The WebSphere DataPower XB62 Appliance includes an HSM option. It augments the powerful authentication and SOA security capability of DataPower to further protect organizations’ data.
*Note that the HSM option replaces the base standard cryptographic accelerator otherwise present in all DataPower appliances. The HSM must be ordered and installed at the point manufacture and cannot installed later. The base standard cryptographic accelerator is not FIPS certified.
