What describes the hardware that IBM Cloud Hyper Protect Crypto Services is built on?

IBM Cloud Hyper Protect Crypto Services is built onFIPS 140-2 Level 3-certified hardware.

FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certification: This level of certification ensures that the hardware used by IBM Cloud Hyper Protect Crypto Services provides a high degree of security, including physical tamper-resistance and the use of strong encryption protocols.

IBM Hyper Protect Crypto Services: These services leverage Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) that meet the FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification. The HSMs provide a secure environment for key management and cryptographic operations, which is critical for meeting stringent regulatory and compliance requirements.
