In this field, CLAI PAYMENTS® Technologies has been building solutions that guarantee secure operations in Latin America for more than 30 years. In fact, it goes one step further, establishing itself as one of the only companies in the region that offers cloud cryptography managed by IBM®, with FIPS Level 4 certification, the world’s strictest cryptographic security standard.
More than infrastructure: a strategic alliance
Security does not depend solely on devices; it depends on a shared vision. CLAI PAYMENTS® Technologies found in IBM® and strategic partners a shared vision for the future of payments: a more secure, agile cloud that is prepared for what lies ahead.
Recent events in the technology industry have highlighted a critical point: dependence on cloud infrastructures that do not guarantee total continuity can have a direct impact on essential services. In contrast, IBM® Cloud has distinguished itself by its focus on resilience, redundancy, and rigorous compliance, essential elements for financial ecosystems that cannot be interrupted.
With IBM®, financial management in the cloud is supported by an architecture designed for critical operations, with the highest levels of security and compliance. In addition, in conjunction with CLAI PAYMENTS® Technologies, it enables the availability of cryptography as a service in a hybrid cloud, allowing security to be maintained in a highly controlled environment without sacrificing the flexibility and speed that the cloud offers.
This model acts as an anchor of trust: it safeguards and ensures that all operations are executed under strict, verifiable encryption policies and the highest industry standards. Operating under a hybrid structure, CLAI PAYMENTS® Technologies combines the elasticity of the cloud with the resilience and control of a dedicated infrastructure, offering financial institutions the security and flexibility they require.
While other infrastructures can be affected by global outages that disrupt services, the IBM® cloud, designed for critical loads, has maintained its stability even in the most demanding environments. This continuity translates into trust, availability, and reputation for the entities that depend on it.
This synergy and continuous availability ensure that migrating to the cloud does not mean giving up control, but rather expanding management and security capabilities, especially in critical components such as HSM for cryptographic functions in environments that demand continuous availability and the highest level of regulatory compliance.
The joint proposal is not simply to move cryptographic modules to the cloud, but to evolve towards a managed service that eliminates historical barriers: infrastructure costs, hardware rigidity, and asset depreciation.
Recent global cloud service outages underscore the need for clouds capable of ensuring total availability, even in the face of global disruptions. In this context, IBM® architecture, backed by the most secure and audited data center network on the market, has established itself as a reliable response to the resilience challenges that define the value of enterprise cloud services today.
Thanks to IBM®’s global network, the CLAI PAYMENTS® Technologies solution achieves something few imagined possible: operating throughout the region with the same speed and consistency, ensuring low latency even in mission-critical operations. This capability not only improves performance, but also strengthens the resilience of the financial ecosystem, connecting from the Andes Mountains to data centers in Canada under a single trust model.
The IBM® promise: total control of keys
One of the most powerful differentiators is key management. With models such as BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) and NKOK (Never Know Our Key), financial institutions maintain absolute sovereignty over their cryptographic keys. No one else, not even the cloud provider, has access to them.
This message reinforces confidence in a solution designed not only to comply with regulations, but also to anticipate tomorrow’s risks.

Security that evolves with the business
The financial world cannot stop to redesign its infrastructure every time a new threat emerges. CLAI’s solution in the IBM cloud ensures that cryptography always stays aligned with the latest market demands and advances in data protection. This means that banks and fintechs can focus on growth, knowing that their security foundation evolves at the same pace as technology.
A cloud that frees banks
Migrating cryptography to the cloud means much more than security: it frees institutions from burdens that slow down innovation. Among the most obvious benefits are:
No more hardware depreciation: banks no longer invest in expensive, short-cycle equipment.
Real elasticity: capacity adjusts to the pace of demand, even during peak transaction seasons.
Reduced time to market: new initiatives reach the market in weeks, not months.
Always up-to-date platform: updates and regulatory compliance guaranteed by IBM.
Business continuity: ease of replicating and moving data between data centers, ensuring resilience in any scenario.
Leadership that makes a difference
What makes this proposal unique is that it is not just cloud technology, it is a shared vision. CLAI PAYMENTS® Technologies brings its expertise in payments and financial security with CRYPTGRID™; IBM®, the world’s most robust and reliable infrastructure.
The result: CRYPTGRID™, one of the few cloud cryptography solutions on the market with FIPS Level 4, designed for banks, fintechs, and processors to operate with confidence in increasingly challenging environments.
Security is no longer limited to protecting what we have today, but to paving the way for what is to come. CLAI PAYMENTS® Technologies, together with IBM®, redefines how payments are secured in the cloud: with total control of keys, quantum resilience, and flexibility that transforms financial operations into a platform ready for innovation.
This is a decisive step that confirms our leadership and opens a new chapter for security in payment ecosystems in Latin America and around the world. Would you like more information about our cryptography solution? Leave your details below and a specialist agent will contact you.
