Cloud security vendor Fortanix has updated its Data Security Manager to incorporate support for AWS’ external encryption key store system, adding another major public cloud vendor to the list of those supported for the company’s key management system.
With this week’s update, Fortanix, which already supports this type of cloud key management system in Azure and Google Cloud, is trying to solve one of the major security and regulatory problems posed by multicloud environments. Every public cloud provider has its own management service for digital keys, which generally don’t integrate with services provided by other vendors. That’s a serious headache for companies whose IT departments use products hosted in different clouds.
