The challenge
Your organization faces an increasingly complex threat landscape, with rising data breach costs and evolving regulatory requirements. Rapid digital transformation leads to shadow data, while a shortage of security skills exacerbates vulnerabilities. The stakes are high, as a failure in encryption can result in permanent data loss, operational performance degradation, and regulatory penalties. Implementing a robust encryption strategy is crucial for protecting your most valuable assets and maintaining a competitive edge.

The solution
Encryption addresses your unique challenges through modern solutions and key capabilities.
Centralized key management
Generate, store, rotate, and revoke encryption keys across multi-cloud and on-premise environments from a single console, eliminating key sprawl.
Automated data discovery
Use AI to scan the environment, identify sensitive data (PII, IP, PHI), and automatically apply encryption policies based on data sensitivity.
Crypto-agility
Rapidly swap cryptographic algorithms (e.g., from RSA to PQC) via policy configuration rather than code rewrites.
Confidential computing (data in use)
Protect data while it is being processed in memory, critical for AI workloads and enabling zero-footprint intelligence.
Hybrid PQC support
Run classical (AES/RSA) and post-quantum algorithms together, ensuring security against current and future threats while maintaining backward compatibility.
HSM integration
Support dedicated, tamper-resistant hardware to store the most sensitive root keys, ensuring they can never be extracted by an attacker.
