In the public cloud, a critical concern is when CSPs control the cryptographic keys that protect your data, posing risks that go beyond typical threats to data security compliance. Organizations lack control over how CSPs manage data protection or encryption key management, making them hesitant to use cloud encryption solutions for protecting sensitive data. Data sovereignty and cloud data compliance are also major concerns, focusing on where and how data and keys are stored.
Organizations prioritize secure data management to maintain control over their data and encryption keys, ensuring they meet legal and regulatory requirements. To achieve secure and compliant cloud data security, they should explore solutions that offer advanced cloud key management capabilities, providing greater control over encryption keys while supporting data sovereignty.
In this whitepaper, we discuss how SAP, a world-leading enterprise solutions provider, collaborates with Fortanix to address the most pressing data security challenges global organizations face when transitioning to the public cloud.
SAP Data Custodian Key Management Service offers comprehensive encryption key management features that enhance cloud data security across public, private, hybrid, and multicloud environments. It enables organizations to implement secure data management strategies through solutions such as bring your own key (BYOK) and hold your own key (HYOK), depending on their desired level of control over encryption keys.
Organizations can use these key scenarios to establish a customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) approach tailored to their functional, financial, and compliance needs.
In this whitepaper, you will learn:
The Key Management Service from SAP data custodian.- How it helps protect data across public, private, hybrid, and multicloud environments.
- The ability to securely manage encryption keys using scenarios like BYOK and HYOK for an optimized data management strategy and cloud encryption solutions.
