Fortanix is a data-first security company focused on protecting sensitive data and AI workloads across hybrid multicloud environments. Its differentiation is rooted in Confidential Computing, which Fortanix uses to help secure data not only at rest and in transit, but also while it is being processed. That approach supports enterprises that need stronger privacy, control, and attestation-backed trust for cloud migration, regulated data handling, and AI adoption.
Fortanix packages these capabilities into a unified platform spanning cryptographic risk discovery, key and secrets management, confidential computing operations, and secure AI deployment. The company positions the platform for organizations that need to discover exposure risks, assess and remediate weaknesses, maintain compliance, and enable trusted data sharing and AI innovation without relying on fragmented point tools.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Fortanix delivers a unified set of data and AI security capabilities that includes cryptographic asset discovery, risk assessment, remediation, enterprise key management, HSM-grade protection, tokenization, secrets management, code signing, and data-in-use protection through confidential computing. Its platform is designed to give security, data, risk, and DevOps teams centralized control across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.
Fortanix supports standards-based and API-driven integration through REST APIs, PKCS#11, KMIP, JCE, Microsoft CAPI, and CNG. It also supports major cloud key control patterns such as AWS KMS External Key Store, Google External Key Manager, and BYOK, and highlights integrations with AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, VMware, Snowflake, ServiceNow, BigID, AppViewX, and Keyfactor.
