Get More Control Of Your Data In The Cloud With Cryptomathic's BYOK Service

Cloud computing brings many benefits to enterprise businesses; easily scalable, cost-effective and resilient, cloud computing enables rapid development of products and services while minimizing downtime and reducing cost. However, the aggregation of sensitive data, critical business processes and other corporate IP on a publicly accessible platform creates security and data privacy challenges for many enterprises.

Cloud providers offer key management services to generate encryption keys for customers, controlling and managing them as part of the service. This is a great solution for many, but for organizations that hold sensitive data in the cloud, the lack of ownership and control over their cryptographic keys can still be an issue.

Introducing Bring Your Own Key

To answer this problem, Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) solutions allow businesses an additional level of security by giving them the option of creating their own keys. The generated keys can then be used by the cloud service provider as part of the key protection hierarchy.

Organizations can securely upload key material while managing and preserving generated keys throughout their lifecycle, promoting security, control, and flexibility.
