For more than a decade, the cloud has been rewriting the rules of cryptographic security. Signing, certificate management, tokenization and encryption key management have all found their way from on-premises hardware security modules (HSMs) into fully managed cloud services. But one corner of the HSM world has stubbornly resisted that shift: payments.
Until now, there has been no true cloud HSM for payments. That is changing with Azure Cloud HSM v2, a new offering built jointly by Marvell, Microsoft and Utimaco, entering public preview in September 2026.
To understand why this matters, it helps to look back at where payment security came from, and why it took a different path than the rest of the cryptography world.
Where It All Started: The Atalla Box
This is the payments chapter of a much broader evolution in Azure key management. Azure began by making HSM backed key protection available as a shared cloud service, expanded to dedicated HSM appliances for customers requiring exclusive hardware control, and then evolved toward cloud-native, single-tenant HSM services that deliver tenant isolation, customer control, and cloud-scale operations without requiring customers to manage the underlying hardware. Azure Payment HSM v2 extends that evolution to the highly specialized world of payment cryptography.

Doing your best work requires a little balance. Every quarter at Marvell, employees around the globe have the opportunity to partake in a Recharge Weekend, two extra paid days off, to relax how they see fit. While enjoying their time off, many employees found a deeper connection to their meaningful work at Marvell.

For Senior Staff Test Engineer Yaswanth Chalamalasetti, the benefit provided an opportunity to connect with nature, with the waterfall serving as a metaphor for his work on the test floor.
“Got a break from testing chips thanks to Marvell's amazing Recharge Weekend benefit, but I was still ‘testing the waters’ by hiking to beautiful Tumpak Sewu,” says Chalamalasetti. “The name means ‘a thousand waterfalls,’ and it's a great reminder that success (and a good bin—aka a working chip shipped to a customer) comes from a thousand small steps rather than one giant leap. And just like the water flowing here, ideas never stop, and neither does Marvell.”

Entering the workforce as a new graduate is a big milestone. Marvell aims to set up new grads for success through supportive programming designed to fast-track early career growth and foster community among cohorts.
Approximately 200 new graduate hires across the United States, Canada, and India recently completed the inaugural New Graduate Accelerator Program at Marvell. Through technical learning, professional development and community-building experiences—including connections with senior leaders and engineers across the company—new grads built the technical expertise, skills and relationships needed to navigate the first year at Marvell. Along the way, we also gained a deeper understanding of the company’s business, technology and culture.

The frontier of photonics is among the least predictable corners of modern engineering, a place where quiet research can grow into $5.5 billion dollar acquisitions inside a five-year window, and where the engineers closest to the science are often so invested in the technological developments that they are the last to learn how much value they have actually created. Angelina has been inside that turbulence from the start. The deal Marvell struck with Celestial AI in late 2025, the largest event in her professional life so far, arrived through her newsfeed the same way it arrived for everyone else. The role she holds today did not exist when she first sat down to work on the technology that produced it. Read across the whole arc, her career has been one long exercise in learning to work with things she could not predict.

There’s a saying in Hebrew that every ending is the first chapter of a new beginning. When it comes to my Marvell story, the new beginning had the same starting point.
I graduated university with a degree in computer engineering and joined Marvell as a Storage Security Firmware Engineer, working within a group focused on building security infrastructure from the ground up. It was a fascinating experience where I learned an immense amount about code, lab environments and firmware development. It was my ideal work environment: high energy, constantly challenging and had a meaningful impact.
