Fortanix Armor is a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that protects data and applications across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. It integrates Fortanix solutions into a single unified product, securing data throughout its lifecycle. Built on the Runtime Encryption Platform, it ensures real-time encryption of data at rest, in transit, and during processing. Additionally, it includes platform services such as IAM, KMS, and Audit and Monitoring to simplify security management.
Fortanix Key Insight identifies encryption keys and data services across on-premises and hybrid multicloud environments, providing a unified dashboard for tracking key mappings and cryptographic security. It offers security and compliance teams data-driven insights to assess risks, align with best practices, and meet industry regulations. Iy also supports continuous risk mitigation and crypto-agility, adapting to evolving security needs, including preparation for the post-quantum era.
Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) is the world’s first cloud service secured with Intel® SGX. With Fortanix DSM, you can securely generate, store, and use cryptographic keys and certificates, as well as other secrets such as passwords, API keys, tokens, or any blob of data. Your business-critical applications and containers can integrate with Fortanix DSM using legacy cryptographic interfaces (PKCS#11, CNG, and JCE) or using the native Fortanix DSM RESTful interface.
