More About Gemalto

Gemalto focuses on digital security technologies that are integrated into telecom networks, financial infrastructures, government systems, and enterprise IT environments. Its offerings cover the protection of identities, devices, and data, with deployment models that include on-premises (on-prem) appliances, embedded security components, and cloud-delivered services. Enterprise and institutional customers use Gemalto platforms and hardware to support authentication, secure communications, regulatory compliance, and protection of sensitive assets across hybrid and multi-cloud architectures.

In identity and access management (identity and access management), Gemalto provides technologies for user authentication, authorization, and lifecycle handling of digital identities. This spans strong authentication mechanisms such as one-time passwords, smart cards, secure elements, and mobile-based authenticators, as well as support for standards like Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), X.509 certificates, and federation protocols where applicable. These tools are used to secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) access, web applications, privileged accounts, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) access, and can integrate with directory services, identity providers, and enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) frameworks.

For data security (data security), Gemalto supplies hardware security modules and encryption platforms that protect cryptographic keys and data at rest, in motion, and in use. These products are commonly deployed to secure payment transactions, digital certificates, databases, file systems, and application-level encryption workflows. Hardware security modules are used in architectures that require tamper-resistant key storage and cryptographic operations, and they integrate via standard interfaces and APIs such as PKCS#11, KMIP, and REST-based services where supported.

In the telecom and IoT domain (telecom and IoT security), Gemalto delivers embedded SIM, eSIM, and secure connectivity management solutions used by Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and device manufacturers. These components provide Secure Element (SE) functionality for subscriber identity, device authentication, and secure provisioning, and are integrated into smartphones, connected devices, and Industrial IoT (IIOT) equipment. Management platforms enable remote profile management and lifecycle handling of SIM credentials across distributed device fleets.

Gemalto also works in the area of secure issuance and credential management (credential management), supplying technologies and services for payment cards, government Intrusion Detection System (IDS), passports, and enterprise badges. These offerings support personalization of credentials, secure chip operating systems, and adherence to standards used in EMV payment schemes, electronic identity documents, and machine-readable travel documents. Enterprises and public sector agencies use these services to manage credential enrollment, issuance, and revocation processes at scale.

Across these domains, Gemalto’s portfolio sits in marketplace categories such as identity and access management, authentication security, data security, hardware security modules, telecom and IoT security, and credential management. Its technologies are embedded in infrastructure operated by banks, mobile operators, enterprises, and government authorities, and are used to implement cryptographic controls, multi-factor authentication, secure connectivity, and lifecycle management of digital identities and credentials.
