A security information technology element (ITE) for secure application and data processing, including a physical enclosure defining a protection envelope and a secure computing device disposed within the protection envelope. The security ITE provides security services to applications and a secure processing environment for hosting applications, and includes cryptographic services and hardware acceleration. A security manager within the security ITE is configured to erase data within the protection envelope upon detecting physical tampering.
