The proliferation of sensitive data – across cloud, SaaS, and on-prem – has made data protection harder, riskier, and more fragmented than ever. Security teams know where sensitive data lives, but struggle to act on it fast enough. Compliance teams map risks, but lack tools to enforce consistent controls at scale.
To solve this disconnect, BigID and Fortanix have partnered to automate protection from discovery to encryption, bridging the gap between finding vulnerable data and securing it, without manual workarounds or swivel-chair handoffs.
Security Is Fragmented. Risk Slips Through the Cracks.
Enterprises rely on a patchwork of tools for discovery, classification, encryption, and access control – none of which talk to each other. As a result:
- Sensitive data is exposed longer than it should be
- Compliance violations linger without enforcement
- Security teams get bogged down in manual steps and complex workflows
The stakes are even higher with GenAI and large-scale analytics. Sensitive data must be classified, protected, and anonymized before it powers AI pipelines, but today’s toolsets rarely connect insight to action.
BigID Takes Action. Fortanix Extends Encryption.
BigID already helps organizations go beyond visibility, automating action on sensitive data: delete, restrict, redact, and remediate.
Now, with the new Fortanix integration, organizations can automatically trigger encryption and tokenization on high-risk data using BigID’s built-in policies. BigID identifies sensitive PII, PHI, PCI, or crown jewel data – and Fortanix enforces protection through format-preserving tokenization, file encryption, and centralized key management.
This integration enables:
- Seamless protection workflows across structured data sources
- Closed-loop automation to secure data at rest, in motion, and in use
- Trusted controls for AI & analytics, without compromising data utility
