What is CipherTrust Manager?
CipherTrust Manager is the centralized management platform within the CipherTrust Data Security Platform. It enables organizations to manage encryption keys, secrets, certificates, and security policies across hybrid cloud, multi-cloud, SaaS, database, Kubernetes, VMware, and hardware security module (HSM) environments. Centralized visibility and control help reduce risk, simplify compliance, and improve operational efficiency.
CipherTrust Manager Enables PQC Readiness
CipherTrust Manager sits at the center of an organization's cryptographic infrastructure, acting as the root of trust for key management, encryption services, certificate management, and cloud key integrations. As such, it is uniquely positioned to help customers prepare for the transition to the post-quantum era.
- It protects against Harvest Now Decrypt Later Attacks
- Promotes Crypto Agility
Built for Enterprise Cryptographic Governance
Organizations face increasing challenges managing encryption keys, security policies, and compliance requirements across complex IT environments. CipherTrust Manager provides a single control plane for cryptographic governance, enabling security teams to reduce operational complexity, accelerate audits, strengthen ransomware resilience, and maintain consistent controls across cloud and on-premises infrastructure.
Create, store, rotate, archive, revoke, and manage encryption keys throughout their lifecycle from a unified management platform while preserving usability
Control and govern keys across AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, Google Cloud, and other cloud environments while maintaining centralized visibility including PII. These techniques remove or hide data and are not reversible, reducing exposure across files, databases and applications.
Integrate with Thales and third-party HSMs and standards-based KMIP solutions to simplify enterprise cryptographic infrastructure management.
Support containerized workloads, Kubernetes environments, CI/CD pipelines, and automation frameworks through APIs, SDKs, and policy-driven workflows.
Maintain comprehensive audit trails, reporting, role-based access controls, and policy enforcement to support regulatory compliance initiatives.

Frequently asked questions
CipherTrust Manager is a centralized enterprise key management platform that helps organizations manage encryption keys, secrets, certificates, and cryptographic policies across hybrid, multi-cloud, and on-premises environments. Security teams use CipherTrust Manager to simplify encryption key lifecycle management, enforce consistent security policies, and maintain control of sensitive data wherever it resides.
CipherTrust Manager enables organizations to manage encryption keys across leading cloud providers while maintaining centralized visibility and control. It supports Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) strategies by allowing organizations to generate, import, store, and manage encryption keys used by cloud services. This helps security teams meet compliance requirements, strengthen data sovereignty controls, and reduce dependence on cloud-provider-managed keys.
CipherTrust Manager helps organizations support compliance initiatives related to regulations and frameworks such as GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIS2, DORA, and regional data sovereignty requirements. By centralizing key management, enforcing separation of duties, maintaining audit logs, and controlling access to cryptographic assets, organizations can strengthen their overall compliance posture and simplify audit preparation.
CipherTrust Manager automates critical encryption key lifecycle operations including key generation, distribution, rotation, expiration, archival, and revocation. Centralized lifecycle management reduces operational complexity, minimizes the risk of human error, and helps organizations implement cryptographic best practices consistently across applications, databases, storage systems, and cloud environments.
Cloud-native key management services typically operate within a single cloud environment. CipherTrust Manager provides centralized management across multiple clouds, on-premises infrastructure, and hybrid environments from a single platform. This enables organizations to apply consistent security policies, improve visibility into cryptographic assets, support data sovereignty initiatives, and reduce operational silos across diverse IT environments.
