The Thales white paper analyzes NIST SP 800-57 Rev. 5 guidelines for key management, emphasizing the need to protect cryptographic keys across their full lifecycle. It introduces the CipherTrust Data Security Platform, which centralizes encryption, key management, access control, and compliance. CipherTrust Manager, a FIPS 140-2 certified module, provides unified key lifecycle management—covering generation, distribution, storage, backup, recovery, rotation, and destruction—across hybrid and multicloud environments. Supporting BYOK, HYOK, and KMIP standards, it ensures auditability, high availability, and regulatory compliance while automating policy enforcement and minimizing cryptographic risk.
