Being accredited allows Fortanix to establish
strong credentials as a trusted data security provider with the
government, enterprises and investors in Singapore
Fortanix® Inc., a leader in data-first cybersecurity and pioneer
of Confidential Computing, today announced it has joined an
esteemed list of companies accredited by Singapore’s Infocomm Media
Development Authority (IMDA).
IMDA has independently tested and evaluated Fortanix solutions,
ensuring they meet the rigorous industry standards. Government
agencies in Singapore can now directly purchase Fortanix products,
easing the buying process and speed of implementation. Fortanix is
already a proven solution for enterprises and government
organisations, globally.
“We are honoured to be part of the IMDA Accreditation
programme,” said Anand Kashyap, CEO and Co-founder of
Fortanix. “With Fortanix, businesses can be confident and
assured that they make every effort to comply with the Personal
Data Protection Act. Further, being accredited by IMDA supports
Fortanix’s efforts to expand our footprint in the region -- we now
have more opportunities to present our products through media
channels, exhibitions, and collaborations with government agencies,
accessing the ASEAN/APAC markets.”
“Under the PDPA, businesses are responsible for the personal
data they handle. This means they must follow rules about
collecting, using, sharing and storing personal data. To do so,
they need to balance privacy, convenience, and security to deliver
a positive customer experience,” adds Paul McClure, Vice
President of APAC, Fortanix. “With Fortanix, businesses have
full visibility and control of their data. Uniquely built using
Confidential Computing technology, Fortanix helps secure data at
rest, in transit, and in use, for a variety of use cases including
AI, confidential data search, and data collaboration.”
Data sharing is becoming more pervasive and IMDA encourages
data-driven innovation while protecting the use of personal data.
The Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC), a part of IMDA,
promotes and regulates data protection.
"We welcome Fortanix, which is at the forefront of Confidential
Computing, to our IMDA Accreditation programme. Data breaches and
privacy compliance are top-of-mind concerns to modern businesses,
and this category of technology will be critical in addressing
them,” said Edwin Low, Director of Enterprise & Ecosystem
Development, IMDA.
