Fortanix, a cybersecurity and confidential computing company, released Key Insight, a service for helping organizations to proactively manage data exposure risk by enhancing visibility and control over cryptographic posture. Key Insight delivers visibility of keys across multicloud environments, allowing organizations to identify risk and future-proof data security against post-quantum computing era threats.
Key Insight automatically reveals what data has been encrypted, the type of encryption keys and which workloads use them, in both AWS and Microsoft Azure cloud environments. The platform interface helps assess cryptographic posture, align with existing policy and prioritize remediation steps. Fortanix noted that it will have executives on hand at the 2024 RSA Conference in San Francisco, where attendees can sign up for a free trial of Key Insight to determine whether their encryption keys are compliant with established policies, standards and regulations across multicloud silos.
Key Insight helps prepare for the post-quantum era with automated discovery that creates a complete inventory of all cryptographic keys, delivering assessment to prioritize the encryption keys and data services needed to transition to quantum-resistant algorithms. With this insight, organizations can leverage the Fortanix platform for the crypto agility needed to smoothly migrate to oncoming NIST-standardized algorithms.
“Encryption is the most effective measure of data security, but security teams all too often lack visibility into what is and isn’t being protected and whether data security best practices are being followed,” said Anuj Jaiswal, VP of product, Fortanix. “Key Insight is a huge step forward for the industry because it helps organizations completely and accurately discover and assess cryptographic security posture and remediate issues with the crypto-agility capabilities of the Fortanix platform. This is a perfect antidote to the current threat of adversaries harvesting stolen data and waiting for quantum computing technology to catch up so they can decrypt this data.”
“As the global leader in AI healthcare imaging, we know how crucial it is to protect patient information with encryption, especially when it’s stored in the cloud,” said Amit Phadnis, CTIO of RAPIDAI. “The release of Fortanix Key Insight is an important step in helping organizations improve their security and lower the risk to their sensitive data, now and in the future.”
Fortanix Key Insight bridges a key gap between data security posture management (DSPM) – which classifies data but does not provide solutions to protect it – and cloud security posture management (CSPM) that identifies configuration security issues in the cloud.
The product takes a three-pronged approach to enterprise key posture management:
- Discovery: Identifying encryption assets and providing a detailed map of the relationships between encryption keys and data services.
- Assessment: Delivering data-driven heatmaps to pinpoint risk, gaps and priorities against established policies, regulations and industry standards.
- Remediation: Implementing corrective actions at scale to improve cryptographic security, with robust monitoring and reporting to demonstrate continuous improvements over time.
