Thales Expands Partner Network to Turbocharge Enterprise Innovation

Data Protection Goes Global (and It’s Deja‑Visioned)

Picture this: a world where every company—no matter how small—has a digital guard dog that’s not just a barker but a certified guardian. That’s the promise Thales is making by rolling out its data protection ecosystem to over 300 tech partners and more than 500 IT goodies.

What’s in the Toolbox?

Encryption – the secret sauce that turns data into gibberish until the right key appears.
Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) – the vaults that keep those keys safe from prying eyes.
Key Management – the orchestra conductor ensuring keys are played at the right moment.
Access Management – the bouncer that checks IDs before letting anyone into the party.

With these tools stitched into cloud services, on‑prem servers, and everything in between, businesses can put a fence around their entire customer journey. They’ll no longer worry that a rogue line of code sneaks through the cracks.

“Secure by Design” – The Company Shout‑Box

“The cloud is the backbone of the modern company,” says Sebastien Cano, Thales’ VP of Cloud Protection. “The real leaders embed security from Day 1. By teaming up with hundreds of partners, we’re making sure that every step of a company’s digital makeover is protected.”

Blockchain: The Trusty New Kid on the Block

Thales isn’t just watching the blockchain trend; it’s the iron‑clad security blanket for it. By threading its Luna Network HSM into solutions like CLS Group and Hyperledger, the company turns every block into a fortress.

Key Wins:

CLS Group’s crypto‑key lifecycle protected by Luna HSM.
Hyperledger’s open‑source projects fortified by trusted hardware.

Cloud Moves – Juggling 29 Services Like a Circus Act

On average, firms are juggling 29 cloud services—from collaboration tools to storage giants. Thales’ SafeNet Trusted Access brings the circus act together by weaving in cloud key and access management into popular platforms like AWS, Azure, Box, Office 365, and Slack.

When Cloud Meets Identity

Integrations with Vaults such as SailPoint, PAM solutions like BeyondTrust, and CASBs like CipherCloud mean that when a user logs in, the system checks, verifies, and grants only the right access—all while keeping the getaway routes locked.

Hybrid IT – Bridging the Gap

Many companies still keep legacy apps humming alongside the cloud. Thales’ partnership with F5 BIG IP offers a single sign‑on (SSO) that works for both worlds. Imagine one key that opens both the old office door and the shiny, new office building.

John Morgan, VP & GM of Security at F5 remarks: “Data now fuels every business. Without security, the engine stalls. Our partnership with Thales helps companies keep that engine revving.”

DevOps Gets a Security Check‑In

In DevOps, certificates become the trust tokens that verify who’s doing what in the build pipeline. Thales expands its DevOps partners to include Red Hat, HashiCorp, Kubernetes, VMWare Tanzu, Docker, and Google, ensuring code, containers, and pipelines stay legit.

IOT – Securing the Billion‑Scale Identity Boom

With billions of IoT devices coming online, authentication and key protection is a factory reset. Thales’ HSMs, encryption, and key management integrate with Cisco, Microsoft, DigiCert, Sectigo, GlobalSign, KeyFactor, and Venafi. This makes sure that every device gets a VIP badge before it starts chatting.

Code Signing – The “I’m Legit” Badge

Any business that ships code needs a badge of authenticity. Code signing assures users that the software they install is exactly what the publisher intended—no shady edits in the middle.

Regulators and marketplaces now demand a FIPS 140‑2 Level 2 HSM for private key protection. Thales’ HSMs take it to the next level by storing signing material inside the hardware, guaranteeing the code’s integrity.
