Our Mission

TO SOLVE SECURITY AND PRIVACY.
We believe that security should be deterministic. Traditionally, encryption has secured data at rest and in motion, leaving it vulnerable in use. We use Runtime Encryption to protect data in use, providing complete security protection throughout the lifecycle of the data.

The Problem

When it comes to protecting your data, encryption is one of the most popular and effective controls. But the data must be encrypted at each step of its lifecycle.

Data at rest

Encryption of data at rest protects data when stored in digital forms on persistent media. This is typically solved by transparent data encryption or self-encrypting drives.

Data in motion

Encryption of data in motion protects data when it’s being transported. This is typically solved by Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) or VPN tunnels.

Runtime / Data in use?

Once the application starts to run, data in use by CPU and memory is vulnerable to a variety of attacks including malicious insiders, root users, credential compromise, OS zero-day, network intruders, and others.

Current solutions try to address this runtime vulnerability using isolation and detection. But complete protection remains elusive given the ever-increasing complexity of infrastructure and breadth of attack surface.

Fortanix Approach

Runtime Encryption
Page 1 Created with Sketch.

A new approach is required to protect the runtime environment. The approach must assume compromise and encrypt like everyone is watching! We call this approach Runtime Encryption. Runtime Encryption is a class of security solutions that keeps data encrypted even when in use by applications.

Fortanix created a Runtime Encryption platform that enables your application to process and work with encrypted data. Fortanix uses Intel SGX and creates a portable security envelope that runs signed applications in completely protected states. Fortanix protects applications even if the infrastructure is compromised. Fortanix further provides a HSM and Key Management solution built using this technology.
