Organizations can see which encryption keys and attached services/applications and users show evidence of increased risk, anomalous behavior.
Fortanix, the seven-year-old Santa Clara, California-based startup focused on enterprise key management and data security for companies that use software, is upgrading its Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) platform for securing cloud, on-premises, and hybrid digital data with a powerful new tool.
The tool, Key Insight, was unveiled this week at Amazon Web Services (AWS)’s annual re:Invent 2023 conference in Las Vegas. Fortanix describes it as “the first and only solution to provide consolidated insights and control of all cryptographic keys to protect critical data services.”
In other words, Key Insight is like a tracking system for all your organization’s digital encryption keys — a very intelligent one. The threat of encryption keys falling into the wrong hands
Cryptographic keys service all sorts of purposes in computer security, and encryption keys in particular are designed to allow information to be encrypted — or turned from its original state into a special secret code — so that only trusted and properly permissioned users can decrypt, translate, and access it.
When you encrypt the information on your Mac computer or PC, it is encryption keys that allow you to access it and change it later. Organizations of all sizes rely on encryption keys to keep their sensitive data safe and relegated to only authorized users.
