Overview

The volume of data stored on the public cloud is growing exponentially. With this growth, the challenges of data security, regulatory compliance and the risk of data breaches grow. Cloud-native encryption relies on the cloud platform provider to secure data. Under this approach, cloud providers generate and own the data encryption keys directly to encrypt the data-at rest in cloud. With this approach, customers do not get control over the cloud keys.

Fortanix allows businesses to retain control and management of encryption keys with centralized management, consistent access control policy and centralized audit logs. With Bring your own key management service (BYOKMS) customers can also store cloud keys externally to help meet most stringent compliance requirements.

What we do

Full Key Lifecycle Management

Fortanix delivers full key lifecycle management as a service to ensure secure and consistent key management across on-premises and multicloud environments, including bring your own key (BYOK) and bring your own key management service (BYOKMS).

External Key Manager (Bring your own key management service)

Fortanix has partnered with GCP to create Google Cloud External Key Manager (EKM), the first solution to enable customers to bring their own key management system. Fortanix generates and stores encryption keys in customer datacenters with a single point of management and auditability. Other cloud providers do not currently support BYOKMS.

Integrated Data Security Platform

Fortanix provides a Data Security as a Service (DSaaS) platform with integrated hardware security module (HSM), key management, encryption, shared secrets, and tokenization capabilities.
