Google’s services increase the number of opportunities that enterprises have to increase efficiency, and improve service and product delivery. Whether those services come in the form of cloud storage or as remotely delivered office applications, Google offers tools to make the world more connected so businesses and individuals can take full advantage of the internet to advance their initiatives.
CipherTrust Key Broker is integrated with Google Cloud EKM to make it easy for organizations to follow security and key management best practices while leveraging the power of Google Cloud for compute and analytics. Organizations are able to securely create and control their own encryption keys separate from where their sensitive data is being hosted. By generating their own encryption keys using CipherTrust Key Broker, organizations can verify the origin and quality of the keys they are providing to the cloud provider, while maintaining the original version of the key outside of the Google Cloud environment.
The Google Cloud Key Management System (KMS) offers 'Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)' API’s via the Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK) facility. Google KMS supports a wide range of Google Cloud products. To enable your organization to manage encryption keys across multiple cloud providers including Google Cloud, CipherTrust Cloud Key Manager from Thales TCT provides multi-cloud key lifecycle management for Google CMEK, along with a range of other providers.
