Future-Proof Data Exposure Risks for the Post-Quantum Era

Even though quantum computers are currently only capable of breaking algorithms that are known to be relatively weak, and new quantum-resistant algorithm standards are not yet fully defined, your data sensitivity timeline likely overlaps with that of cryptanalytical-capable quantum computers.

For example, state secrets, intellectual property, customer information, or investor relations must be kept secret for decades or longer to protect an organization’s competitive edge and avoid the risks of future legal liabilities, embarrassments, or boycotts.

Advanced adversaries, such as foreign states and criminal proxies, already steal encrypted data with the intent to decrypt it once practical attacks become available under the “Harvest now, decrypt later” approach. Time is a risk factor that cannot be mitigated; organizations must act now.

Fortanix helps contain future data exposure risks and provides solutions for all critical steps in your post-quantum readiness journey. The first phase is to discover your cryptographic security posture. Fortanix Key Insight discovers all encryption keys and data services in the cloud to assess and track your cryptographic security posture. It reveals where all encryption keys are, and how they are used by data services across multicloud environments.

Cryptographic agility is essential for organizations to transition to a strong and resilient crypto posture. Fortanix provides a suite of solutions to give back the visibility and control of an organization’s cryptographic operations across multiple clouds, classical datacenters, and individual regions. Organizations can transition smoothly to new cryptographic standards with an efficient use of resources. With Fortanix, organizations can consolidate data security and achieve crypto agility through three key steps:
