# Architecture

Fortanix Key Insight discovers and maps keys to data services across on-premises and multi-cloud environments. It automatically discovers your encryption keys, maps them to data services, and assesses cryptographic security posture across on-premises and hybrid multi-cloud environments.

To ensure continuous operation and secure communication between Fortanix Key Insight and your environments, you must whitelist specific IP addresses in your network.
