Case Study: Yahoo! JAPAN strengthens security and business continuity with Entrust nShield HSMs

Yahoo! Japan strengthens security for 80 million users with Entrust nShield HSMs

Yahoo! JAPAN, one of the country's largest and most popular portal sites, needed to authenticate every application in its IT infrastructure to ensure security and business continuity. To address this challenge, they turned to vendor Entrust and its nShield hardware security modules (HSMs) to provide a secure and scalable key storage environment.

Entrust implemented its nShield HSMs across two geographically separate data centers to create a robust public key infrastructure (PKI). This solution provided secure, scalable key storage with high availability and failover capabilities. The result for Yahoo! JAPAN was a significant increase in security for its authentication platform, ensuring all applications could be trusted and maintaining uninterrupted service for its customers.
