Why we love it?
- Fortanix provides a single centralized platform to securely store, control and manage secrets outside of an application’s source code in a FIPS 140-2 level 3 certified HSM. With flexible deployment modes and scalable architecture, Fortanix secret management works across environments, using Rest APIs for integration.
- Fortanix Data Security Manager supports database encryption across multiple datacenter sites, public cloud, and database vendors. By simplifying database encryption, Fortanix enables businesses to encrypt more sensitive data, comply with privacy regulations and prevent costly data breaches.
- Fortanix Data Security Manager SSH CA is part of a broader cryptographic services platform. In addition to the strict security, Fortanix Data Security Manager provides SSH CA with scalability, centralized management, automation and tamper proof audit logs.
- The Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) is used to facilitate communication between Storage Vendors and Fortanix DSM. KMIP uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to provide a secure connection and Fortanix DSM also uses this to Authenticate a KMIP client to successfully create, retrieve, and use the keys stored inside Fortanix DSM.
