Data Security Manager

Fortanix is a massive, highly disruptive modern challenger in the cryptography market, having aggressively built its platform on the cutting-edge foundation of "Confidential Computing" (specifically utilizing Intel SGX secure enclaves). While traditional HSMs are clunky, incredibly expensive physical hardware boxes bolted into data centers, Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) provides a highly modern, cloud-native, API-first architecture that delivers FIPS 140-2 Level 3 hardware-grade security entirely via software running in highly secure enclaves. The core differentiator of Fortanix is its radical unification. It seamlessly combines Hardware Security Module (HSM) capabilities, Key Management (KMS), Secrets Management, and Tokenization into a single, beautifully designed, highly unified SaaS platform (or on-premise software cluster). An enterprise developer can use a single API to generate an encryption key, store a database password, or tokenize a credit card number, drastically reducing the massive complexity of juggling three different security vendors. Fortanix is exceptionally powerful in multi-cloud environments. It features incredibly robust "Bring Your Own Key" (BYOK) and "External Key Management" (EKM) capabilities. A highly regulated European bank can use Fortanix DSM (running in their own datacenter) to centrally manage the keys that encrypt data in Google Cloud Platform (via Google Cloud EKM). The keys never physically leave the Fortanix secure enclave, meaning even Google themselves cannot decrypt the bank's data. For modern enterprises demanding multi-cloud agility with absolute, hardware-level data sovereignty, Fortanix is a massively powerful engine.
