Futurex, the world’s leading enterprise data security solutions provider has recently opened its office in Noida. The Texas-headquartered company which has remained the trusted provider of hardened enterprise-class data security solutions for over 40 years, though has already been serving a wide range of Indian companies as part of its South Asia operation, has now decided to set up its operation in India to serve this rapidly-growing market better. Futurex is the only company to offer cloud-based hardened enterprise-class data encryption solutions locally in the South Asian region. Its cloud HSM solutions help organisations migrate their aging cryptographic infrastructures from end-of-life legacy solutions. In India, Futurex serves customers across telecommunications, BFSI, e-governance, retail, and automobile sectors, securing high value transactions. Recently, some of the large enterprises and fintech companies have joined the fast-growing customer base of Futurex in India. “Futurex is not new to the Indian market. We have served the South Asia region for close to a decade before setting up our separate office in Noida this year to cater to the spike in demand for enterprise data security solutions. Prior to this, we used to manage our operations via local partners, who are equipped with local support resources, from our USA corporate and EMEA office in London, UK. The Indian enterprise data security solutions market is growing quite rapidly. In fact, India has emerged as a significant market for us and hence we want to serve our customers well with our local team,” says Ruchin Kumar, VP – South Asia, Futurex. The global company, serving over 15,000 business and financial organisations through its innovative cryptography and tokenization solutions to address mission-critical data encryption and key-management needs, has also set up two data centres – one each in Mumbai and Hyderabad. These data centres, PCI certified and well equipped with FIPS certified HSMs and key management solutions, have been put up to address client’s preference to work with data centres within the geographical boundaries, in compliance with Indian data residency norms. User-friendly solutions “Customers can access PCI, FIPS 140-2 certified cloud-based cryptographic infrastructure to fulfil regional data residency and other compliance mandates at better RoI compared to similar setup on-premise.
