Fornetix: Cybersecurity Team dedicated to Zero Trust future

Fornetix: Cybersecurity Team dedicated to Zero Trust future

Technology grows and transforms itself every day. With a wider array of terms defining what infrastructure is and where the edge of an IT system is located, the challenge of keeping data secure from breaches is constantly evolving and expanding. Protecting data employing encryption requires management tools that adapt quickly to these new architectures and technologies. Fornetix is a cybersecurity platform enabling Zero Trust while delivering critical encryption automation, access controls, authorization services, and machine identity to the federal government and commercial enterprises around the globe. Fornetix embraces the mission of making security seamless, rapid, flexible, scalable, and cost-effective to overcome the high complexity and unmanageable costs of legacy solutions. After three years of development, 10 U.S. patents granted so far, and a team of respected cybersecurity thought-leaders, Fornetix has shifted the market with a pioneering key management solution. 

Products of Fornetix

VaultCore: VaultCore is an advanced encryption key management ecosystem that automates the key lifecycle across the entire enterprise with groundbreaking precision and speed. The company’s commitment to industry standards and interoperability allows it to bring powerful encryption management to virtually any device or technology.

VaultCore® was built to make the encryption of data seamless, rapid, flexible, scalable, and budget-friendly. Fornetix connects with leading technologies around the globe to automate and orchestrate key management and encryption on a massive scale. Simple, centralized control of security and access policies prevent human error, reduce operating costs, safeguard critical data, and ensure regulatory compliance. It eliminates human error and reduces the impact of data breaches by automating complex key lifecycle tasks. VaultCore provides a unique hybrid combination of attribute-based and role-based access controls. Patented tools organize the enterprise into a hierarchy that ensures compliance with security standards. VaultCore supports over one hundred million keys for large-scale, global environments. It is an ecosystem of plugins that translate APIs of non-KMIP systems so they can utilize VaultCore’s capabilities. It enforces and mandates the key rotation of critical systems set by organizational policies.

Fornetix is building a broad ecosystem of plugins, protocols, and architectures to solve cybersecurity’s biggest challenges. Their ever-growing library of tools brings VaultCore’s unique capabilities to data at rest, data in motion, and data in use. Orchestrate and automate the encryption of databases, virtual machines, backups, cloud services, CASBs, SAN/NAS, IoT endpoints, hyper-converged infrastructure, end-user hardware, certificates, proxies, load balancers, web servers, SSH, wired/wireless networking, PKI, and more.

Orchestration Gateway™ : The Fornetix Orchestration Gateway™ and the corresponding suite of plugins extend the groundbreaking capabilities of the VaultCore ecosystem by connecting and translating leading data services such as AWS, Azure, F5, and more — plus custom solutions for proprietary systems. This developer-friendly API integration tool allows you to integrate your security with the rest of your data system. Orchestration Gateway is the perfect companion to empower VaultCore for API integration, non-KMIP translation, and other API plugins.

ABAC: Attribute-Based Access Controls (ABAC) allows organizations to share protected information, collaborate with confidence, and weave existing assets into orchestrated security architecture. Fornetix’s ABAC Trust Controller and ABAC Verification Point are powerful policy orchestration tools enabling the flexible access controls a true Zero Trust strategy requires. Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) is a modern security model that uses a wide variety of defined attributes to determine which users can access your data. The concept of “trust nothing and verify everything” has stood the test of time for a reason. And yet, authorization and access controls are frequently relegated to an afterthought when designing enterprise infrastructure. Implementing ABAC principles from the outset allows organizations to weave those powerful cyber security benefits throughout all aspects of a Zero Trust architecture. ABAC can also be easily added to existing infrastructure, enabling these powerful security capabilities.

Already an implemented solution in many U.S. federal agencies, VaultCore has proven its best-in-class, hundred million encryption key capacity as an asset for keeping U.S. secrets safe. Developed, built, and serviced in the United States, VaultCore is an encryption key management solution ‘Made in America’ for complete federal compliance. Other than government solutions, Fornetix provides solutions for industries like telecoms and ISPs, automotive, utilities and smart cities, finance, and healthcare.

Thus, it can be said that Fornetix is home to some of the world’s most cutting-edge cybersecurity technology. Fornetix is headquartered in Frederick, MD with a regional office in Los Angeles, CA. Our footprint with localized resources is increasing each year with sales and engineering resources deployed globally.
