Fortanix Introduces Key Insight: A Solution for Enterprises to Manage Cryptographic Security Risks

Fortanix Launches Key Insight to Strengthen Data Security in Multi-Cloud Environments

Fortanix, a leader in data-first cybersecurity solutions, recently announced the general availability of Key Insight. This innovative product allows organizations to discover, assess, and remediate data exposure risks across multi-cloud environments. The launch arrives at a critical time as enterprises strive to maintain a consistent cryptographic security posture amidst the rapid adoption of cloud services and the rising threat of quantum computing.

Addressing a Market Need for Enhanced Encryption Visibility

Key Insight fills a crucial gap in the market by offering visibility into an organization’s encryption assets and their connections to data services. "Our customers inspired the development of Key Insight," said Anand Kashyap, CEO and Founder of Fortanix, in a recent interview. "Security teams face challenges in governing a consistent cryptographic posture across multiple tools. We recognized that a discovery and assessment tool would meet their encryption-related security needs."

What sets Key Insight apart from traditional data security posture management (DSPM) and cloud security posture management (CSPM) solutions is its emphasis on encryption and keys tailored specifically for protecting data. "Fortanix’s differentiation lies in our focus on encryption and remediation, leveraging our existing platform, rather than just providing visibility,” Kashyap added.

Real-Time Risk Assessment with Key Insight

The Key Insight dashboard provides a critical risk score that identifies urgent cryptographic security issues within an enterprise’s cloud infrastructure.

Preparing for the Quantum Computing Revolution

Moreover, Key Insight prepares organizations for the post-quantum computing landscape by creating a comprehensive inventory of keys, algorithms, applications, and data services utilizing those keys. "Quantum computers represent a transformative moment for cryptography," Kashyap stated. "Widely used algorithms like RSA and ECDSA face obsolescence; organizations must upgrade to quantum-safe algorithms."

Early feedback from users has been enthusiastic. An information security leader at a major utility company remarked, “This is exactly what we’ll need in the near future—just months away.”

Showcasing Innovation at the 2024 RSA Conference

Fortanix will showcase Key Insight at the 2024 RSA Conference, scheduled for May 6-9 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Attendees are invited to visit booth No. 1261 in the South Expo Hall for live demonstrations and insights on managing cryptographic security risks. The company will also host presentations from partners like Nvidia, GuidePoint, BigID, Keyfactor, Veeam, Cohesity, and AppViewX, highlighting collaborative solutions.

Fortanix’s Commitment to Data Security

Since its founding in 2016, Fortanix has been at the forefront of data-first cybersecurity and Confidential Computing, raising over $90 million from prominent investors such as Intel Capital and Foundation Capital. With Key Insight, Fortanix is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for tailored solutions that enhance cryptographic security and prepare enterprises for the quantum computing era.

As organizations continue to navigate the complexities of securing data across hybrid multi-cloud environments, solutions like Key Insight will be vital. "Our vision for data security is to ensure data is protected at all times and accessible only to designated users or applications," Kashyap emphasized. "Key Insight addresses this by scanning environments to identify unprotected services and non-compliant encryption."
