Futurex, a leader in hardened, enterprise-class data security solutions, announced support for Google Cloud External Key Manager (EKM), giving customers more control over encryption keys. Google Cloud EKM gives users full separation between their data and encryption keys, enabling users to create, store, and manage their encryption keys in a third-party key management service (KMS) — such as Futurex’s key management servers (KMES). Users can turn to Futurex KMES Series 3, a FIPS 140-2 Level 3-validated key management enterprise server, or Futurex’s VirtuCrypt cloud service to handle all cryptographic key lifecycle management to maximize data security, privacy, and compliance.
