“Fortanix believes that Public Sector business, led by opportunities in the U.S. Government, will represent major growth opportunities for the company,” said Anand Kashyap, CEO and Co-founder of Fortanix. “We continue to make investments in our team to support Civilian, Defense and Intelligence Community customers. We look forward to working with the top distributor in this market to aid Federal agencies and State Governments in solving their immediate and emerging data security challenges.”
Through this collaboration, Fortanix and Carahsoft will deliver Fortanix solutions to address the most important data security challenges today, including advanced cryptography and key management, securing AI and machine learning and post-quantum computing preparedness. This partnership will enable Federal agencies and State and Local Governments to defend data across critical infrastructure, disarm threat actors and build a resilient future.
The agreement adds to the number of partnerships Fortanix and Carahsoft already have in place with Federal resellers and system integrators. Fortanix has also worked in collaboration with Intel and large system integrators to validate the application of Confidential Computing to protect sensitive data and application software when in use, in support of U.S. healthcare agency requirements.
“Fortanix Data Security Manager and Fortanix Key Insight, the company’s Confidential Computing-powered solutions, are a proven way for Government agencies to protect Public Sector data,” said Michael Shrader, Vice President of Intelligence and Innovative Solutions at Carahsoft. “Civilian and defense-focused agencies have already successfully used Fortanix solutions, and Carahsoft and our resellers look forward to helping many other Federal and State and Local, and Education customers experience the same benefits when it comes to addressing the latest data security challenges.”
This partnership reinforces Fortanix’s commitment to delivering innovative technology that solves major data security problems for Governments across the globe. Fortanix has gained extensive experience in the application of its data security technology, which is secured by Confidential Computing, within different U.S. Government application contexts.
In the healthcare domain, Fortanix has collaborated with Intel and large system integrators to demonstrate a secure and scalable architecture for real-world evidence (RWE) collection and analysis. Fortanix has also demonstrated the application of Confidential Computing technology to protect classified workloads and enhance national security.
At the Intel Public Sector Summit in November 2023, Fortanix presented a secure federated machine learning architecture to train a signal rectifier model for distributed wind turbines. This solution used a genetic AI algorithm, deployed using Confidential Computing, to improve data quality for resilient operational control and protection of critical national infrastructure, in accordance with U.S. (National Security Memorandum) NSM-22.
