What Modern Data Security Management Looks Like with Fortanix

Organizations are aware that their customer data, AI models, and encryption keys are scattered across clouds, SaaS apps, and on-prem systems. Somewhere, apps and systems are misconfigured.

Somewhere else, a developer just copied a key into a test script. And while everyone talks about AI innovation, no one’s sure if it’s also leaking data in plain sight. This is the reality of modern data security management.

The scale, speed, and surface area have changed. But most companies still protect data with yesterday’s playbook, which includes fragmented tools, reactive alerts, cloud-native controls locked into cloud-native silos.

Fortanix offers solutions that connects the dots across encryption, keys, AI security, and quantum readiness without the complexity and disruption.

Let us understand what a modern data management and security strategy looks like.

Centralized Key Management, Control, and Visibility

Let’s say a financial services company runs workloads across AWS, Azure, and a few legacy systems on-prem. Over the years, encryption keys have proliferated, some managed by cloud providers, some baked into scripts, some forgotten entirely.

Then comes an audit. The security team often cannot answer basic questions: Where are our keys? Who has access? Are they rotated regularly?

Fortanix helps by centralizing key management. Instead of juggling keys across teams and platforms, everything comes under one roof. You can see which key is used by which app, who accessed it, and when.

You can rotate keys automatically, enforce access policies, and restrict usage to specific applications or workloads.

When keys are centralized, control improves. You know where your sensitive data is protected and how. Visibility helps with faster audits, easier compliance, and quicker response when something goes wrong.

And since you're not relying on every cloud platform to do things their way, you get consistent security everywhere.

AI Security with Fortanix Armet AI

Generative AI is everywhere. But What if sensitive data gets exposed in a model?

Fortanix Armet AI is a secure GenAI platform designed for enterprises that need to protect sensitive data while using AI.

The solution secures every stage of the GenAI pipeline i.e., data access, processing, vectorization, and model inference, inside confidential computing environments. This means your data stays encrypted even while in use, protected from internal threats, infrastructure compromise, or cloud access.

The platform adds guardrails to keep AI behaviour in check. It redacts sensitive data, blocks prompt injection attacks, detects hallucinations, and enforces your internal security policies. Role-based access control, project isolation, and API integrations make it easy to manage governance and scale responsibly.

Armet AI helps you adopt GenAI without risking privacy, compliance, or trust. It’s built for industries that can’t afford mistakes—like healthcare, finance, and government—so you can innovate without losing control over your data.

PQC Readiness with Fortanix Key Insight

Quantum computing threatens today’s encryption standards like RSA and ECC, putting long-term sensitive data at risk. Attackers are already harvesting encrypted data now to decrypt it later.

The shift to Post-Quantum Cryptography is a strategic, multi-year journey that starts with knowing your current exposure.

Fortanix simplifies this transition. With Fortanix Key Insight and PQC Central, organizations can discover quantum-vulnerable assets, assess risks with visual dashboards, and build a migration roadmap without disrupting current systems.

The platform supports crypto-agility, helping you adopt quantum-safe algorithms over time without changing hardware or breaking applications.

With full visibility, automation, and centralized control, Fortanix gives you a head start on PQC migration before it's urgent, expensive, or too late.

Modern Problems. Modern Defence.

The Fortanix Vision

Fortanix’s vision is grounded in a simple but powerful idea: data should always remain private and secure, whether stored, moving across networks, or actively being processed. That includes public cloud, across borders, and even inside AI models.

To make this possible, Fortanix is rethinking data security from the ground up. Instead of tying protection to infrastructure or relying on trust in cloud vendors. Fortanix puts control back in the hands of the data owner.

Confidential Computing plays a central role here, isolating workloads in secure enclaves, so even the cloud provider can’t peek inside.

Combine that with centralized key management, granular access policies, and full audit trails, and the result is a system that doesn't just encrypt data but governs it with precision. Fortanix is creating the conditions for secure data use, where the real business value lies.
