CipherTrust Cloud Key Management Bring Your Own Key for AWS KMS
CipherTrust Cloud Key Management (CCKM) increases efficiency by reducing the operational burden—even when all of the cloud keys are native keys. Giving customers lifecycle control, centralized management within and among clouds, and visibility of cloud encryption keys reduces key management complexity and operational costs. Customers report that they stepped away from managing keys across a heterogeneous environment and invested in CCKM to enable them to move securely to the cloud—and their cloud use is growing exponentially, reducing management overhead and the potential for security holes.
