en.Wedoany.com Reported - Eviden (the cybersecurity products, mission-critical systems, and visual AI brand of the Atos Group) announced the general availability of its integrated solution combining its Key Management System (KMS) with Salesforce's Hyperforce and Shield Platform Encryption. This solution allows enterprises and public sector organizations to encrypt critical data using fully independent, externally managed encryption keys hosted in Europe.
Through the "Bring Your Own Sovereign Encryption" (BYOSE) model, this solution provides users with strict external control over their information assets, enabling them to accelerate process modernization and fully leverage Salesforce's application innovations and artificial intelligence solutions, while benefiting from the flexibility, performance, and compliance of the Hyperforce cloud environment.
This integration aligns with the shared responsibility model in cloud computing security. Under this model, the cloud provider is responsible for the security of the cloud and its underlying infrastructure, while customers and end users bear the responsibility for protecting data in the cloud and configuring the platform to meet their operational needs and regulatory requirements. Built on Salesforce's next-generation cloud architecture, Hyperforce, the solution provides core customer relationship management capabilities while achieving data isolation by separating application data from Eviden's encryption keys.
To meet data protection standards in the European market, Eviden's technical architecture relies on two key technological pillars. The first is Confidential VMs, on which Eviden KMS runs, used to isolate encryption operations in memory and neutralize potential threats from the underlying cloud infrastructure layer. The second is certified Hardware Security Modules (HSMs); this solution directly interfaces with the Eviden Proteccio HSM, the only hardware security module to achieve the highest certification level from the French National Agency for the Security of Information Systems (ANSSI). Master encryption keys remain under the exclusive control of the customer, with Eviden's KMS acting as the authoritative key store, and the key lifecycle (from generation to final revocation) directly managed by the customer.
Data unification and strict data governance have become prerequisites for enterprises driving digital transformation and successfully deploying Salesforce's AI solutions, while complying with stringent regulations such as GDPR. Integrating Eviden KMS within Hyperforce provides IT directors and Chief Information Security Officers with the necessary visibility, control, and observability. This joint solution protects data at its source through external encryption, enabling teams to securely use Salesforce's operational and analytical tools, thereby transforming security from a compliance requirement into a driver of innovation.
Antoine Grenier, Global Head of Eviden Cybersecurity Products, stated that by implementing Eviden KMS on the Salesforce platform, this collaboration combines the proven Proteccio HSM and Confidential VMs with the scalability and flexibility of Hyperforce, allowing customers to maintain complete control over their data confidentiality, thereby accelerating cloud and AI initiatives.
