Customer managed encryption keys

Customer managed encryption keys

You can use your own master key to encrypt your organization's encryption keys.
By default,
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
 protects your organization's sensitive data in the cloud using organization-specific encryption keys that are generated and stored in the
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
 key management service (KMS). To prevent malicious access, the keys are encrypted using a master key that is stored in the cloud provider's KMS.
The master key is provisioned in Informatica's KMS account and varies by POD.
If you prefer, you can create a customer managed key (CMK). When you create a CMK, you control access to it. However, you'll need to grant
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
 access to the CMK so that it can encrypt and decrypt your organization's sensitive data.
Creating a CMK offers the following benefits:
  • You can restrict and control any access to your data.
  • You can restrict the decryption of your data in the event of a data breach.
  • You create and hold the key material in your KMS. The key is never exposed to your cloud service provider.
  • You maintain full control of the key throughout its lifecycle. You can revoke access or delete the key at any time.
The following image shows how
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
 interfaces with your CMK:
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services interfaces with its KMS agnostically. Non-customer managed keys go to Informatica's cloud KMS. Customer managed keys go to the customer's KMS, which can be Azure Key Vault, AWS KMS, or Google Cloud KMS.
  1. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
     interfaces with the
    Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
     KMS agnostically.
  2. Non-customer managed keys go to Informatica's cloud KMS.
You can create and enable a CMK when you use the following cloud providers' key management services:
  • Amazon Web Services
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Google Cloud
When you create a CMK, your KMS and
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
 POD must use the same cloud provider. For example, if your
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
 POD is USW1 on AWS, then you must store your CMK in AWS KMS. You can't store it in Google Cloud KMS or Azure Key Vault.
