Business Challenge
- Like many financial services firms the company’s infrastructure had traditionally been on-premises. However, as business grew, they wanted to migrate from datacenters to the cloud. Following a detailed RFP, and an in-depth technical review of all the leading platforms they chose Google’s Cloud Platform (GCP). For data security, they relied on existing ‘rack and stack’ HSM infrastructure that was built to protect on-premises data in the confines of a traditional data center. With a strategic need to migrate workloads and data to the cloud, it was important for them to revisit their data security. They needed a way to protect the data from getting compromised.
Fortanix Solutions
With a comprehensive Data Security as a Service (DSaaS) platform, from Fortanix, offering integrated hardware security module (HSM), key management, encryption, shared secrets, and tokenization capabilities, the company was able to meet a broad set of use cases from a single platform, lowering the TCO and offering comprehensive security for all types of data and workloads.
Bring Your Own Key-Management-System (BYOKMS)
A comprehensive solution to protect data at rest, in transit, and during processing within your VMware workloads, ensuring sensitive information, such as inventory data, order details, and customer records, remains confidential and secure throughout its lifecycle.
Kill-Switch capability
Leveraging the power of Intel® SGX technology, Fortanix DSM provides hardware-based encryption that is resilient to attacks, guaranteeing the highest level of data integrity. Your VMware workloads are shielded from emerging threats, including insider attacks and sophisticated cyber threats.
Bring Your Own Encryption (BYOE)
Fortanix DSM enables precise control over who can access your VMware workloads and sensitive warehouse data. Role-based access control (RBAC) and attribute-based access control (ABAC) mechanisms ensure that only authorized personnel can interact with your systems, reducing the risk of data breaches.
Key Differentiators
Fortanix offered seamless integration with GCP’s External Key Management Service.
The solution can be consumed as a service which was best suited for their infrastructure and cloud migration plans.
Fortanix offered great flexibility in terms of the security controls that could have been offered depending on data types and use cases.
