Fortanix's Data Security Manager is a unified platform offering a range of data security services, including encryption, multi-cloud key management, tokenization, TDE, secrets management, and sovereignty. The platform offers flexible deployment options, including on-premise, in-cloud, and a pure software and virtual appliance deployment.

The Enclave development platform (EDP) uses Intel SGX runtime encryption technology and allows users to write enclaves from scratch. Through EDP, users can develop applications using the Rust programming language, which when combined with Intel SGX, makes the application secure from development vulnerabilities and outside attacks. The platform offers complete security, is battle-tested built on Fortanix's experience, and is developed for ease of use.
