How Fortify Works
Watch data flow through our zero-trust encryption pipeline
Server
Proxy Server
Key Server
(S3)
Application sends data to Fortify Proxy Server
Data is encrypted, keys go to Key Server, encrypted data to Object Store
Zero-knowledge architecture ensures AWS cannot access your data

Why This Matters - Security and Convenience
This table summarizes the practical trade-offs between our client-side encryption solution and the encryption options provided by IaaS.
While server-side encryption options offer ease of use, they inherently require trusting AWS with your keys. AWS needs them to encrypt and decrypt your data on their servers.
Our solution breaks that trust dependency while maintaining full interoperability with S3 APIs; removing the historical tension between security and convenience.
Purpose-Built for Security-Critical Workloads
Securing Logs, Backups, and Sensitive Archives
Logs, snapshots, and data exports often contain credentials and confidential state. Our platform encrypts these assets at the application edge before storage, ensuring full protection across backup lifecycles, even if bucket permissions are misconfigured.
Trust-Minimized Cloud Adoption
For teams building in adversarial or zero-trust environments, trust in the cloud provider should not be a precondition for secure data storage. Our drop-in S3-compatible layer allows you to benefit from AWS scalability while retaining cryptographic control.
Intellectual Property Protection
Safeguard your organization's most valuable assets—source code, research data, proprietary algorithms, and trade secrets—with encryption that activates before data reaches cloud infrastructure. Protect against insider threats, supply chain compromises, and unauthorized cloud provider access.
