Case Study: Prominvestbank achieves robust PKI security, high-availability key protection and secure online transactions with Thales OneWelcome

Prominvestbank - Customer Case Study

Prominvestbank, a Top 1000 World Bank and one of Ukraine’s largest banks, needed to meet the National Bank’s SEP PKI requirements and better protect high‑risk transactions. Their in‑house solution lacked the hardened key protection, multi‑application support, high availability and multi‑factor authentication for administrators and customers that they required, so Prominvestbank selected Thales OneWelcome and its cryptographic and authentication products (Luna Network HSM, eToken 5100 and SafeNet Authentication Manager) to address these gaps.

Thales OneWelcome implemented Luna Network HSMs for hardware root‑key protection and automated key synchronization across a clustered, high‑availability setup, deployed eToken 5100 two‑factor USB authenticators, and used SafeNet Authentication Manager to centralize lifecycle management. The solution enabled Prominvestbank to expand PKI beyond internal payment systems to securely authenticate online banking customers and accept signed transactions online, while delivering defense‑in‑depth key security, automated uptime improvements and reduced IT overhead through centralized administration.
