  The Missing Chapter in CloudHSM: Bringing True Cloud-Scale Security to Payments

  By Eyal Worthalter, Director, Security Sales, Marvell

  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.

  How Secure is Your 5G Network?

  By Bill Hagerstrand, Security Solutions BU, Marvell

  New Challenges and Solutions in an Open, Disaggregated Cloud-Native World

  Time to grab a cup of coffee, as I describe how the transition towards open, disaggregated, and virtualized networks – also known as cloud-native 5G – has created new challenges in an already-heightened 4G-5G security environment.

  5G networks move, process and store an ever-increasing amount of sensitive data as a result of faster connection speeds, mission-critical nature of new enterprise, industrial and edge computing/AI applications, and the proliferation of 5G-connected IoT devices and data centers. At the same time, evolving architectures are creating new security threat vectors. The opening of the 5G network edge is driven by O-RAN standards, which disaggregates the radio units (RU), front-haul, mid-haul, and distributed units (DU). Virtualization of the 5G network further disaggregates hardware and software and introduces commodity servers with open-source software running in virtual machines (VM’s) or containers from the DU to the core network.

  As a result, these factors have necessitated improvements in 5G security standards that include additional protocols and new security features. But these measures alone, are not enough to secure the 5G network in the cloud-native and quantum computing era. This blog details the growing need for cloud-optimized HSMs (Hardware Security Modules) and their many critical 5G use cases from the device to the core network.
