Fortanix Inc., a data security company, recently unveiled a groundbreaking partnership with NVIDIA, introducing a turnkey platform that empowers organizations to deploy secure AI solutions within their own data centers or sovereign environments. This innovative solution leverages NVIDIA’s confidential computing GPUs, ushering in a new era of trustworthy AI.
“Our goal is to ensure AI is secure at every level—from the chip to the model to the data,” stated Fortanix CEO Anand Kashyap during a recent interview with VentureBeat. “Confidential computing provides end-to-end trust, allowing organizations to confidently utilize AI with sensitive or regulated information.”
This joint solution comes at a critical juncture for industries like healthcare, finance, and government, where the adoption of AI is hindered by stringent privacy and regulatory mandates. The Fortanix platform, powered by NVIDIA Confidential Computing, enables enterprises to develop and deploy AI systems on sensitive data without compromising security or control.
Key to this collaboration is a confidential AI pipeline that safeguards data, models, and workflows throughout their lifecycle. This system combines Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) and Fortanix Confidential Computing Manager (CCM), seamlessly integrated into NVIDIA’s GPU architecture.
DSM acts as a secure vault for encryption keys, while CCM verifies the trustworthiness of AI workloads and infrastructure using composite attestation. This process ensures that only verified workloads can access sensitive data, enhancing security and compliance for industries where confidentiality is paramount.
The Fortanix-NVIDIA solution enables enterprises to transition from pilot projects to production-ready AI quickly and securely. Customers can migrate existing AI workloads onto NVIDIA’s Hopper or Blackwell GPU architectures with minimal reconfiguration. For new AI deployments, Fortanix’s Armet AI platform offers orchestration and observability, accelerating time to production.
Compliance is a central focus of the platform’s design, with Fortanix’s DSM enforcing role-based access control and secure key custody. The solution caters to regulated industries by offering on-premises or air-gapped deployment options, ensuring data sovereignty and confidentiality.
Looking ahead, Fortanix is future-proofing its platform for the post-quantum era by supporting post-quantum cryptography within its DSM product. This proactive approach aligns with evolving security needs in the face of quantum computing advancements.
While designed for on-premises and sovereign environments, the platform can also operate in major cloud environments supporting confidential computing. Enterprises can maintain consistent key management and encryption controls across multiple regions, facilitating the seamless transfer of AI workloads as needed.
Fortanix’s partnership with NVIDIA represents a significant leap forward in securing AI workloads, offering a comprehensive solution for enterprises seeking to harness the power of AI while safeguarding sensitive data. Experience this cutting-edge platform firsthand at NVIDIA GTC, happening from October 27-29, 2025, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.
