Utimaco Launches u.trust General Purpose HSM CSe-Series: The Next Generation of Multi-Tenant Tamper-Active Hardware Security Modules

By unifying multi-tenancy, performance, highest security standards, and crypto-agility with enhanced physical security in a single platform, clients will be able to secure their digital assets across industries, geographies, and evolving regulatory landscapes

Aachen, Germany, 7 October 2025 – Utimaco, a leading global provider of IT security solutions, today announced its launch of the u.trust General Purpose HSM CSe-Series, the successor to its CryptoServer GP HSM CSe, offering the next level of physical security upgrade to the u.trust GP HSM Se-Series. Built on decades of innovation and HSM deployment experience, the CSe-Series is designed for the most demanding environments and industry-specific challenges, allowing clients to secure digital assets across sectors, geographies, and various regulatory requirements.

The u.trust GP HSM CSe-Series has been engineered to meet the rising security and compliance demands across industries. It combines proven Utimaco HSM foundations with advanced tamper-active physical protection, scalable multi-tenancy, and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness, setting a new industry benchmark for high-security HSMs.

Built for challenging environments

The u.trust CSe-Series is purpose-built for customers who require the highest levels of trust, even in environments with little or no physical access control. 

It is suited for:

• Unattended or non-access-controlled environments such as securing data in outdoor installations (wind mills, parking systems, highway toll collection systems and more)
• Public key infrastructure (PKI) root certificate authority (CA) deployments
• Industry-specific applications, such as supporting the widespread Smart-Meter-Gateways (SMGW) rollout, mandated by regulators to enhance energy efficiency
• grid stability, and secure communication between energy providers and households.
• Telecommunications solutions, securing SIM/eSIM provisioning and network authentication
• Automotive manufacturers protecting over-the-air software updates and securing vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication
• Healthcare providers safeguarding patient records, electronic prescriptions, and digital medical devices
• HSM fleet standardization across payment and general-purpose use cases. 

“As the successor to our CryptoServer GP HSM CSe, the CSe-Series is more than just an upgrade - this is the next generation that meets the strategic use cases of our customers who are evolving the cybersecurity landscape,” said Kevin McKeogh, Senior Director, Product Management at Utimaco. “With its unique combination of tamper-active physical protection, multi-tenancy, and post-quantum readiness, the CSe-Series gives customers the confidence to secure their most valuable digital assets in any environment.”

Key features include:

• Advanced physical protection: Tamper foil technology reacts instantly to mechanical, chemical, or physical intrusion attempts, erasing sensitive data
• Pending certifications: Designed to meet FIPS 140-3 Level 4, PCI v4, and DK standards
• Multi-tenancy at scale: Up to 31 fully isolated containerized HSMs in one device
• Crypto-agility: Future-proof with upgradeable post-quantum cryptography
• High performance: Up to 5,000 RSA 2K signatures/sec and 25,000 ECC signatures per second.
