We are excited to announce the launch of Hyper Protect Crypto Services in the IBM Cloud London region.

IBM Cloud Hyper Protect Crypto Services is a dedicated key management service and hardware security module (HSM) based on IBM Cloud. This service allows you to take ownership of the cloud HSM to fully manage your encryption keys and perform cryptographic operations. Hyper Protect Crypto Services is also the only service in the cloud industry that is built on FIPS 140-2 Level 4-certified hardware.

You can now create Hyper Protect Crypto Services instances in the London region in addition to the previously available regions of Dallas, Frankfurt, Sydney and Washington DC. All service instances in London are based on the IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) infrastructure.
