• guaranteed high security and transparent integration in existing infrastructure
• potential for future technology insertion thanks to fully coherent system architecture
Cybels KMC draws on Thales's globally recognised expertise in cybersecurity technologies and more than 20 years of experience in supporting the digital transformation of governments, businesses and the most demanding critical national infrastructure providers.
Cybels KMC guarantees the authentication, authorisation, confidentiality and non-repudiation of encryption operations as well as robust management of certificates and digital keys. The solution offers a high level of security, integrity and authenticity in an unlimited range of applications.
This full-function key management platform generates, prepares, loads and distributes your cryptographic keys, enabling users to:
- manage orders and audits
- generate certificates and asymmetric keys
- easily add extra functions such as PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) and Cybels PKIaaS (PKI as a Service)
- distribute keys offline (via external storage devices) and online (via a secure TLS network)
- fully automate back-end key management
Based on a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) approach, Cybels KMC guarantees a high level of availability and unparalleled flexibility for configuring services and tailoring the solution to the specific needs of each sector of activity.
Cybels KMC has achieved official certification by numerous organisations:
- ISO 9001 2015 and ISO / TS 22163 2017
- German military aviation authority: airworthiness certification
- German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI): Black Box Key Management Equipment (BBKME), Red Key Tool (RKT), Data Transfer Device (DTD), Key Processing Equipment (KPE), Aircraft Crypto Variable Management Unit (ACVMU, Centralised Cryptographic Management Unit (CCMU)
- Military Committee Communications Security & Evaluation Agency (SECAN): DTD, KPE, ACVMU, CCMU

Cybels KMC in the rail sectorThe growing digitalisation of trains and rail infrastructure offers many opportunities but also creates new risks. Cybels KMC brings the rail industry an efficient way of managing the cryptographic keys needed to secure communications between digital devices. > read more |
The key to trustKey management is an essential aspect of cybersecurity, making it possible for two or more devices to communicate in complete security. Certificates and keys are used to authenticate communicating parties and encrypt the data exchanged between the devices. > read more |
Cybersecuring your train journeyCould your train journey be in the crosshairs of hackers? This question would have seemed unthinkable a decade ago. Yet research shows that railways are increasingly targeted by malicious actors. The past four years have witnessed an upsurge in cyber attacks against the rail sector. Between November 2016 and February 2020, there were at least nine major attacks against networks in Europe and North America. Both metro and main line railways were targeted. > read more |
Cybels AuthenticateDigital assurance, secure encryption, secure transmission and the authentication of data are cornerstones to keeping data secure in an ever more connected world. This includes the protection of data in transit and at rest. In order to create digital assurance, crypto keys need to be generated, managed and kept safe. Each generated key has a lifecycle consisting of three phases: key derivation, use and retention, revocation. These three phases are the same for every key despite keys being used for different purposes and in different contexts. > read more |
