Cloud Key Management

Google Cloud Platform’s Data Loss Protection API provides a service that can make organizations manage sensitive data, including detecting and redaction, masking, and tokenizing such data. This can help organizations comply with regulations such as GDPR, and reduce the risk of data exposure and data breaches.

KMS, IAM, and DLP can also be integrated with Google Cloud Functions to encrypt data when uploaded to Google Cloud Storage automatically. Google Cloud Dataflow can use DLP and KMS to encrypt data automatically from several different storage locations. This shows how users can create their own, potentially more robust data encryption methods to assist in the storage of sensitive data on the Cloud.

Cloud storage encrypts data on the server-side before it is written to disk, at no additional charge. Besides this standard, there are additional ways to encrypt the data while using Cloud Storage.

In this article, we will take a closer look at Google’s Cloud Key Management Services. When users store data into Google Cloud, the data is automatically encrypted at rest. We use Google’s Cloud Key Management service to gain better control over managing the encrypted data-at-rest and encryption keys.

As organizations step up their cloud journey as fast as possible to utilize the advantages of the cloud e.g. scalability, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, they have to parallelly think about data security in their IT landscape. This makes encryption, and subsequently HSMs, an inevitable component of an organization’s Cybersecurity strategy.Based on the use cases, we can classify HSMs into two categories: Cloud-based HSMs and On-Prem HSMsIn regards to the classification of HSMs (On-prem vs Cloud-based HSM), kindly be clear that the cryptographic technology is the same, but delivered via different methods.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is mostly about managing secure digital identities that enable ways to protect data and know the subject’s (a subject could be anything such as a computer, a person, a router or a service) identity when sharing information over untrusted networks. PKI is essential to most businesses and their applications today.
