Bolster CyberArk Privileged Access Manager Solutions with Fortanix Data Security Manager
Overview
The partnership forged between Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) and CyberArk PAM solutions, leverages runtime encryption™ and Intel® SGX in a FIPS-compliant HSM to maximize the security and availability of encryption keys used to access safes or files within the CyberArk solution to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical enterprise data.
The Challenge
Insider threats remain the single most challenging entity to defend against when it comes to thwarting cybersecurity concerns, and unauthorized access to cryptographic keys remains the most widely used tactic by threat actors. Businesses need cryptography to secure their data and HSMs to secure their cryptography.
Why Integrate Fortanix with CyberArk
Encrypting data is only half the battle won—where you keep the encryption keys is what makes your security strategy a cut above the rest. Powered by Intel® SGX, Fortanix FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified HSMs ensure your keys remain secure across their lifecycle- at-rest, in-transit, and in-use.
How the Joint Solution Works
The integration between Fortanix Data Security Manager and CyberArk PAM delivers enhanced security and availability for encryption keys used to access safes or files within the CyberArk solution to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical enterprise data.
Fortanix Data Security Manager leverages Runtime Encryption™ and Intel® SGX in a FIPS 140-2 L3 compliant HSM to deliver deterministic security for encryption keys. The Fortanix HSMs are based on a multiple-cluster SaaS architecture. Each cluster resides in separate data centres to support a high-availability architecture and minimize latency. Keys are replicated automatically to eliminate a single point of failure and intelligent load-balancing service automatically accesses the nearest key management service.
