Abstract
An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product, and system for securing data. The embodiment may include receiving, by a management program, identification of a selected cryptographic security module. The selected cryptographic security module is graphically selected by an authorized operator via a graphic user interface. The selected cryptographic security module contains unique individual symbols that contain references to functions and is selected from a plurality of mutually exclusive cryptographic security modules. Based on the received identification of the selected cryptographic security module, the embodiment may include generating, by the management program, a global configuration file. The embodiment may include transmitting, by the management program, a notification to an agent program on a client computer. The notification informs the agent program of the generated global configuration file and directs the agent program to enforce the selected cryptographic security module on the client computer.
