Reply To: cloudHSM zeroised doubt about the correct answer

[eriksa]

When an AWS CloudHSM is <strong data-start=”93″ data-end=”105″ style=”background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>zeroized, it means all keys and sensitive data stored inside the HSM are permanently deleted. This process resets the HSM back to its factory state, ensuring no old data or keys remain. Zeroization usually happens when the HSM is decommissioned, hardware fails, or the customer explicitly requests it. After zeroization, the HSM cannot be used until it is reinitialized and new keys are created. This is a security feature to make sure no one can recover or misuse sensitive cryptographic material. So, zeroizing keeps the environment secure when an HSM is no longer needed or is being replaced. Hope it helps!
