With their combined expertise, NTT DATA and Fortanix Inc. are set to provide services that help companies protect sensitive data, combat emerging AI threats, and increase crypto-agility—the ability to quickly identify and replace vulnerable encryption with quantum-safe alternatives.
“AI, cloud, regulations and the inevitable challenges of post-quantum cryptography are reshaping how data must be secured”, said Anand Kashyap, CEO and co-founder of Fortanix.” Through our partnership with NTT DATA, we’re empowering enterprises to proactively manage their cryptographic risks, powered by industry-leading Confidential Computing technology.”
Cryptography-as-a-Service
The Fortanix platform, powered by Confidential Computing technology, isolates and encrypts data as it is processed, protecting it at rest, in motion, and in use across hybrid, multicloud, and AI environments. Its unified security architecture provides centralised visibility and policy control, simplifying audits, compliance, and regulatory reporting.
NTT DATA will deliver comprehensive lifecycle services, starting with a tailored assessment of each client’s data security maturity level and a technology roadmap for crypto agility, implementation of the Fortanix platform and ongoing managed services.
“Enterprises, especially in highly regulated industries, face mounting pressure to safeguard sensitive data while navigating the opportunities and risks of the rapidly evolving AI landscape. At the same time, they must prepare their cybersecurity infrastructure for the quantum era,” said Sheetal Mehta, head of Cybersecurity, NTT DATA, Inc.
Key uses
Key use cases for NTT DATA’s Cryptography-as-a-Service include multicloud key management, post-quantum readiness, data sovereignty for government & public sector, secure AI & machine learning.
The joint solution is also helpful in hardware security module as-a-service, data tokenisation & format-preserving encryption.
