Elevating Enterprise Security: Announcing Ennote’s Google Cloud KMS Integration
In the world of secrets management, control is the ultimate currency. While Ennote has always provided a robust, default security layer with our cutting-edge Kyber post-quantum KMS, we’ve heard a clear demand from our enterprise customers: the need for full custody of their cryptographic assets.
Today, we are proud to announce the immediate availability of Ennote’s Google Cloud KMS Integration. This powerful new feature is designed for organizations that require complete sovereignty over their encryption keys, empowering them with a new level of control, compliance, and auditable security."
Why External KMS is a Game-Changer for Enterprises
For many businesses, particularly those in highly regulated industries, the encryption of sensitive data is only half the battle. The real challenge lies in the management and ownership of the encryption keys themselves.
Our new GCP KMS integration directly addresses this critical need by enabling customer-managed keys. This means you can now:
- Enforce Data Sovereignty: For compliance and regulatory reasons, some organizations require their encryption keys to reside within their own cloud environment. Our integration makes this a reality.
- Centralize Security Policies: If your organization already has a mature security posture built on GCP, you can now seamlessly extend your existing KMS policies and audit trails to your Ennote secret management.
- Own Your Cryptographic Assets: You provision and manage the encryption key, and Ennote simply uses it. This ensures that all cryptographic operations for your secrets are performed with a key that you own and control, adding an unassailable layer of trust."
How It Works: Seamless Integration, Uncompromising Security
The implementation of this feature is as seamless as our core product. After a straightforward setup, you connect your Ennote organization to your GCP project. You then create a new key within your own Google Cloud KMS environment and, with a few clicks, configure Ennote to use it.
Crucially, Ennote does not store, manage, or have direct access to your external KMS keys. Our integration leverages GCP’s secure authentication model to perform encryption and decryption operations on your behalf, ensuring your keys never leave your trusted cloud environment. This is a foundational principle of our zero-trust architecture.
The Ennote Advantage: Choice and Flexibility
This new integration doesn't replace our powerful internal KMS; it augments our offering. Our built-in Kyber post-quantum KMS remains the default for organizations seeking frictionless, future-proof security. The GCP KMS integration is a powerful alternative for those with specific needs.
This dual-option approach solidifies Ennote as a flexible and comprehensive secrets management solution, ready to adapt to the unique security and compliance demands of any enterprise. Whether you choose our robust internal KMS or opt for the ultimate control of customer-managed keys, you can be confident that your secrets are protected by an industry-leading platform.
