Thales is a global technology leader operating in five continents. Synthesis has recognised Thales’ capability specifically helps organisations to access digital services, analyse vast quantities of information, and encrypt data.  

As such Synthesis has invested in Cryptography experts, to guide and support our customers. We are one of the few service providers that can claim such specialised skills, and as such enjoy a Premier tier partnership with Thales. 

Our key go-to-market solutions to solve for the above are the provision and support of Hardware Security Modules (HSM) and Data Encryption through CipherTrust.

With respect to HSMs, these are devices that are dedicated cryptographic processors that are specifically designed for the protection of the cryptographic key lifecycle. Hardware security modules act as trust anchors that protect the cryptographic infrastructure of some of the most security-conscious organizations in the world by securely managing, processing, and storing cryptographic keys inside a hardened, tamper-resistant device. Synthesis has the privilege of supporting and providing HSMs to most of the banks in South Africa. HSMs aren’t just limited to banking but should be a consideration in many other industries such as retail.
