AWS CloudHSM vs Digital Guardian: What are the differences?

What is AWS CloudHSM? Dedicated Hardware Security Module (HSM) appliances within the AWS cloud. The AWS CloudHSM service allows you to protect your encryption keys within HSMs designed and validated to government standards for secure key management. You can securely generate, store, and manage the cryptographic keys used for data encryption such that they are accessible only by you. AWS CloudHSM helps you comply with strict key management requirements without sacrificing application performance.

What is Digital Guardian? No-compromise data protection that stops data loss. Your organization relies on sensitive data, you need no-compromise data protection. Cloud-delivered for reduced complexity, cross platform coverage for zero gaps, and flexible controls to align with your risk profile.

AWS CloudHSM and Digital Guardian can be categorized as "Data Security Services" tools.

Some of the features offered by AWS CloudHSM are:

• Protect and store your cryptographic keys with industry standard, tamper-resistant HSM appliances. No one but you has access to your keys (including Amazon administrators who manage and maintain the appliance).
• Use your most sensitive and regulated data on Amazon EC2 without giving applications direct access to your data's encryption keys.
• Store and access data reliably from your applications that demand highly available and durable key storage and cryptographic operations.

On the other hand, Digital Guardian provides the following key features:

• Detect and respond to threats faster and more efficiently, regardless of the threat, with big data cloud services powered by AWS
• Delivers the deepest visibility and control available on the market across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Capabilities range from logging to blocking threats to your data
• Supports compliance by protecting data at rest and data in motion with low overhead using Database Record Matching fingerprinting technology
