Containers - User Interface Components

1.0 Introduction

The article describes the Fortanix Key Insight user interface (UI) features for an on-premises containers infrastructure.

2.0 Terminology References

For Fortanix Key Insight – on-premises concepts and supported features, refer to On-premises Connection Concepts.

3.0 Overview

You can access the Overview page after successfully adding an on-premises connection.

The CONTAINERS tab on the Overview page displays the scanned cryptographic assets identified according to the applied Fortanix Key Insight policy.

For more information on the Fortanix Key Insight policy, refer to Cryptographic Policy Management.

NOTE

• If the Overview page for containers does not display any data, configure the on-premises scanner. For more information, refer to On-premises Scanner Configuration.

• In the containers UI, the order of tabs depends on the availability of resources in each tab (DATABASES, SOURCE CODE, CONTAINERS and FILE SYSTEMS). You will always see results in the first tab that has scanned data available. If no data is present at connection level, the default order is FILE SYSTEMS > DATABASES > SOURCE CODE > CONTAINERS.

• If your Fortanix Armor account is deactivated and you are accessing the Fortanix Key Insight On-premises connection for containers, you will not be able to view data under the Overview, Assessments, Resources, Cryptographic Assets, or PQC Central pages. You will only have access to view and delete items within the Connections, Policy Center, and Authentication pages.

• Click RESCAN to rescan the on-premises connection. For more information, refer to Section 5.0: Rescan an On-premises Connection.

• Click ASSESSMENT REPORT to navigate to the Assessment page and view the assessment report. This report allows you to assess your cryptographic assets security posture to ensure the safety of your data. For more information, refer to Section 4.0: Assessments.

The Overview page is described in the following sections:

3.1 Discovered On-Premises Resources

This section provides the count of scanned on-premises infrastructures, including databases, file systems, source code repositories, and container images.

It also displays the count of the following in the scanned on-premises infrastructures:

• Cryptographic assets

• Keys

• Certificates

• Resources

NOTE

The total number of keys displayed in the Discovered On-premises Resources section is only the count of the “Current” key versions in the on-premises infrastructures.

Clicking the Cryptographic Assets, Keys, Certificates, and Resources labels navigates you to their list view.

3.2 Cryptography Bill of Materials (CBOM)

This section describes how to export cryptographic asset metadata from an on-premises infrastructure into a standardized CBOM JSON file. The exported CBOM format is useful for maintaining a cryptographic inventory, demonstrating regulatory compliance, and evaluating post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness.

To export the CBOM data, click EXPORT. The file named bom_report_<on-premises_scan_id>.json will be downloaded to your local machine, where on-premises_scan_id is a unique identifier generated for each on-premises connection scan.

For example,

The exported file adheres to the CycloneDX specification, including the following components:

• bomFormat: Specifies the bill of materials format. For CBOM, this value is set to CycloneDX.

• specVersion: Indicates the version of the CycloneDX specification being used.

• version: Denotes the version of this specific CBOM file.

• components: Lists cryptographic components such as on-premises keys. Each entry includes details such as type, name, algorithm, associated services, and other relevant information.

• services: Describes the on-premises resources that interact with the listed cryptographic components. Each service includes details such as its name and unique ID.

• dependencies: Defines the relationships between keys and resources, representing how cryptographic elements are interconnected or used together.

NOTE

If your on-premises connection was last scanned before the Fortanix Key Insight 25.12 release and has not been rescanned since, you must perform a Rescan to ensure the correct export of CBOM data.

For more information on how to perform a rescan, refer to Section 5.0: Rescan an On-premises Connection.
