Fortanix Armet AI Enables Enterprises to Create Secure and Compliant Custom GenAI Applications to Mitigate Data Exposure Risk
Built on Intel Confidential Computing and Intel Tiber Trust Authority, Armet AI Provides End-to-End Data and AI Pipeline Security
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 7, 2025
Fortanix® Inc., a leader in data-first cybersecurity and a Confidential Computing pioneer, today announced the public preview of Fortanix Armet AI. Today, it’s imperative for organizations to take advantage of generative AI (GenAI) technology, but most organizations don't view off-the-shelf solutions as a viable option due to the risk of security failures that expose sensitive data and intellectual property, malicious tampering that undermines AI trustworthiness, and limited datasets that produce inaccurate outputs. Do-it-yourself solutions can also be complex, costly, and resource-intensive—on average it can take more than 8.5 months for an enterprise to build a GenAI solution, with upfront costs reaching as high as $20 million, according to Gartner®.

Fortanix Enhances Data-First Security Platform to Secure Against Escalating AI and Quantum Computing Threats
New discover, assess, and remediate capabilities include the latest NIST quantum-resistant algorithms as promoted by the National Security Agency (NSA) to enhance data encryption and key management
SANTA CLARA, Calif.,, February 25, 2025
Fortanix, Inc., the leader in data-first cybersecurity and a Confidential Computing pioneer, today announced new capabilities to its data encryption and key management platform. Even as organizations struggle to manage the rising costs and complexity of data security, advances in AI and quantum computing will render current protections obsolete. Quantum computers will be able to break most widely used public key cryptographic algorithms, putting long-term sensitive data at risk, and recent innovations in the field signal it could happen sooner than expected—customer information, PII, employee records, proprietary company and product details—is vulnerable. For example, encrypted data is being stolen today with the intent to decrypt it in the future, once quantum computing becomes available.
