Overview

Today, data is often encrypted at rest in storage and in transit across the network, but applications and the sensitive data they process are vulnerable to unauthorized access and tampering at runtime. Confidential computing protects data and applications by running them in secure enclaves that isolate the data and code to prevent unauthorized access, even when the compute infrastructure is compromised. While confidential computing is revolutionizing how customers protect their sensitive data, organizations need to simplify the process of creating enclaves, managing security policies, and enable applications to take advantage of confidential computing.

What we do

what we do
Lifecycle Management
Fortanix provides a single solution to manage the entire enclave lifecycle including creation, deployment, monitoring, and auditing. The solution manages confidential computing infrastructure and applications across multiple public clouds and on-premises environments to provide complete visibility.
what we do
Broad Application Support
Fortanix makes it possible to enable existing applications, enclave-native applications, and pre-packaged application to run in a secure enclave in minutes. This capability in unique and enables widespread adoption of confidential computing with no development or integration costs.
what we do
Cryptographically Enforced Policy and Auditing
Fortanix manages and enforces security policies including identity verification, data access control, and attestation to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of data, code, and applications. Using these policies, businesses can implement geo-fencing, and compute affinity to support data regulation policies such as GDPR. Fortanix also provides audit logs to easily verify compliance requirements.

quote-left UCSF's Center for Digital Health Innovation (CDHI) is pleased to be collaborating with Fortanix, Intel, and Microsoft Azure to establish a confidential computing platform with privacy preserving analytics to accelerate the development and validation of clinical algorithms. The platform will provide a “zero trust” environment to protect both the intellectual property of an algorithm and the privacy of healthcare data. Using Fortanix Confidential Computing Manager for orchestration of Intel’s SGX secure enclaves on Azure confidential computing infrastructure with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and CDHI’s proprietary BeeKeeperAI data access, transformation, and orchestration workflows, the platform will reduce the time and cost of developing clinical algorithms.
