Modernizing VMware & Storage Encryption for Zero Trust

Federal agencies are under pressure to comply with OMB M-24-04 and Executive Orders 14028 and 14144 – modernizing cryptography while accelerating Zero Trust. Yet the bulk of mission workloads still run on VMware vSphere and enterprise storage, and legacy hardware HSMs are struggling to scale across enclaves and hybrid environments.

Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) delivers HSM-level protection with the flexibility of software. Built on Confidential Computing (Intel® SGX), DSM brings runtime encryption and unified key management to VMware environments — securing data at rest, in motion, and in use.

During this webinar, attendees learned how to:

• Modernize VMware and storage encryption to support Zero Trust compliance and PQC readiness
• Replace legacy HSMs with a scalable, FIPS-validated, software-based platform
• Support enclave segmentation for multiple missions or agencies within one secure deployment
• Secure VMware workloads with runtime encryption, protecting data in use and at rest
• Centralize key ownership and visibility across VMware, databases, and storage systems

Watch now to see how Fortanix DSM transforms VMware encryption from a maintenance task into a strategic modernization driver.
