Challenge
Despite deploying a centralized Key Management System (KMS) for all new applications, the organization lacked full visibility into its cryptographic assets, making it difficult to meet audit and compliance requirements, including getting started with their PQC migration readiness.
- Hundreds of PGP encryption keys were still being used by business applications to meet regulatory requirements.
- Multiple microservices had RSA private keys hard-coded directly into configuration files.
- Developers have stored “temporary” OpenSSL-generated keys created with portable tools, bypassing installation controls.

Fortanix Key Insight Solves the Hidden-Keys Problem
Fortanix Key Insight is a cryptographic key posture management solution that uncovers security gaps across your on-premises and multicloud infrastructure, providing actionable steps toward mitigating risk and accelerated compliance. Key Insight directly addresses the long-standing cryptographic security blind spot.
Deep File-System Scanning Across Servers
Key Insight can scan all major crypto asset extension and read through the files if format is changed. It is supported on Linux and Windows. Key Insight can also generate a Cryptographic BoM for assets across all servers in the enterprise.
Single Source of Truth
Key Insight is the only tool that can scan for encryption keys and certificates across on-premises, external KMS/HSMs, source code, and Azure, AWS, and Google cloud environments, and mapping it to the respective services. With Key Insight, security and compliance leaders gain unified visibility across their entire cryptographic landscape. An intuitive dashboard summarizes critical information and flags each security risk by priority. Teams now can drill down into at-risk keys or data services, to close security gaps, ensure regulatory compliance, and start their quantum-readiness journey.
