Case Study: Epic Lanka achieves secure, scalable payment channel encryption with Thales ProtectServer HSM

Epic Lanka secures 200,000 daily transactions with Thales e-Security

Epic Lanka, a provider of e-security and e-payment solutions, faced the challenge of securing sensitive financial data transmitted between point-of-sale terminals and data centers, which was previously sent in clear text. This vulnerability raised security concerns for their banking customers and hindered expansion. To address this, Epic Lanka turned to vendor Thales e-Security to implement robust encryption and key management.

The solution from Thales utilized the ProtectServer HSM, which provided secure key storage and high-speed cryptographic processing. This integration into Epic Lanka's Terminal Line Encryption (TLE) solution resulted in highly secure and scalable services, supporting over 200,000 transactions daily for five banks. Thales enabled Epic Lanka to meet a central bank mandate, build customer trust, and reduce payment fraud while minimizing deployment costs and preserving profitability.
