Our take
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
- Thales CipherTrust Manager
Best for: Large companies managing keys across data centers and clouds
It earns its place as a central key manager for large estates, because it covers the full key life cycle and runs both on premises and in every major cloud. It fits mid-sized and large companies that need HSM-backed key storage and database encryption. It is one part of a wider data security platform, so be clear which parts you are buying now.
