Fortanix Introduces Expanded Key Insight Data Security Solutions and Filesystem Encryption Solutions for the Japan Market
New Offerings Help Strengthen Security Posture of Japanese Enterprises with Encryption Across All Layers, and Discovery of Encryption Keys and Services Across Hybrid Multicloud Environments
TOKYO--( BUSINESS WIRE )-- Fortanix® Inc. , a leader in data-first cybersecurity and pioneer of Confidential Computing, today announced the introduction of expanded Key Insight solutions, and the addition of Filesystem Encryption to Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM), for the Japanese market. In line with Fortanix’s global strategy, these advanced capabilities address the evolving data security needs of Japanese enterprises, and their preparation for the era of quantum computing.
Addressing Japan’s Data Security Challenges with Advanced Encryption
Organizations in Japan are facing increasing data security challenges and need encryption to control the risks of data sprawl across silos in hybrid multicloud. Fortanix is committed to providing cutting-edge encryption solutions that protect sensitive data and comply with stringent regulatory requirements in the markets these organizations serve.
Fortanix Key Insight is the industry’s first solution to deliver full visibility and inventory of encryption keys and associated services across multicloud and on-premises environments, enabling enterprises to identify and future-proof their data security posture. Organizations can identify hidden security risks and compliance gaps on-premises or in the cloud, from a single dashboard, as well as accelerating compliance audits and post-quantum readiness.
Fortanix Key Insight helps organizations to discover and assess how well encryption is protecting their most sensitive data, and enables remediation from a single platform. The solution provides additional enhancements including federated authentication for improved access control, allowing seamless integration into an organization’s Identity Access Management (IAM) infrastructure.
The addition of Filesystem Encryption capability to Fortanix DSM goes beyond full disk encryption. It allows the protection of individual file systems on specified hosts through encryption, governed by granular decryption policies. This addition ensures that Fortanix’s unified data security platform now supports encryption across all layers, including application, database, storage, and file system.
“Fortanix is dedicated to redefining data security by offering solutions that not only meet current technological demands but also anticipate future threats, such as those posed by quantum computing,” said Anand Kashyap, CEO and co-founder of Fortanix. “As a new-generation data security vendor, we distinguish ourselves from the traditional players by leveraging our pioneering Confidential Computing technology and helping enterprises, in Japan and around the globe, become proactive in planning and execution for post-quantum solutions. We aim to drive innovation and provide cutting-edge security solutions that empower organizations to secure critical data and advance their digital transformation journeys.”
Commitment to Innovation and Market Growth
Fortanix’s approach emphasizes crypto-agility, ensuring cryptographic systems can seamlessly migrate to new algorithms, including Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC), without significant infrastructure changes. This agility is crucial as industries prepare to transition to PQC, with many public cloud providers already supporting or planning to support PQC as part of their security frameworks.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States has been driving the standardization of PQC since 2016 to transition federal public key cryptography to PQC by 2030. Fortanix is focused on ensuring its encryption solutions remain at the forefront of cryptographic innovation, including PQC and hybrid modes in TLS 1.3, combining traditional algorithms with PQC for enhanced security.
Fortanix Key Insight , with the latest enhancements, strengthen users’ ability to:
- Discover and monitor encryption keys and data services across on-premises and multicloud environments.
- Quickly assess how well data services are secured across an enterprise’s digital infrastructure, all from a single view.
- Simplify audits to ensure security posture aligns with internal policies, industry regulations, and security best practices.
- Obtain immediate insight into the most at-risk data services to accelerate security posture improvements.
Fortanix Filesystem Encryption helps organizations to:
- Uplevel data security: Easily set up and manage agents to encrypt individual file systems mounted on host machines, with scaling based on open policy agent specification and no kernel dependencies.
- Fine-tune access policies: Apply granular policy-based decryption so only authorized users and processes can access plaintext data.
- Solidify encryption key management: Centralize lifecycle management of all encryption keys while storing them in natively integrated FIPS-140-2 Level 3 HSM, available as SaaS or on-premises. Prevent involuntary or malicious key deletion with quorum approvals.
