The security company Fortanix has announced an update to its Key Insight solution, which is a tool that provides visibility into where a company’s encryption keys are stored and how data services are using them.
The latest update expands Key Insight so that it can now scan on-premises services like databases or storage.
This enables companies to quickly assess how well their data services are secured, get insight into the most at-risk data services, and simplify audits to ensure that they are meeting internal policies, industry regulations, and security best practices.
According to Fortanix, companies in highly regulated industries often encrypt their sensitive data to meet compliance standards, but often don’t know where the encryption keys are stored or how well cryptography is being applied. With Key Insight, teams get a single platform for discovering, assessing, and remediating their cryptographic security posture, the company explained.
“As businesses avail the many advantages that hybrid multicloud architectures offer, they also create an abundance of hidden risks due to data and encryption key sprawl,” said Anuj Jaiswal, vice president of products at Fortanix. “Quantum computers have the potential to break widely used encryption algorithms like RSA and ECC, which are foundational to securing data. The assessment for quantum vulnerabilities existing in hybrid environments enables organizations to be proactive in planning and execution for post-quantum solutions.”
