Key Features

• Configuration, deployment and management of HSMs.
• Multiple HSMs can be managed at once. (Prospective)
• Accounts managed by Polaris can be used to log into the HSMs.
• NFC support for logging into HSMs in administrator mode. (Prospective)
• Secrets generation, storage and remote management without the worry of a man in the middle.

With advanced cryptography at its heart, Polaris maximizes the potential of data security even on the cheapest hardware; you can even deploy it on a VM, we wouldn't recommend it though. Polaris keeps your data in the spotlight while ensuring only you and the HSM can communicate privately. Learn more about this from Cloudflare here.
