Zilliz has announced the general availability of Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK) for Zilliz Cloud. With this feature, enterprises will be able to have complete control of their encryption keys for their AI-scale vector workloads. This is expected to address the increasing regulatory and security requirements for enterprises that are using AI technology in their environments. Customer-Managed Encryption Keys is a type of encryption that is different from other encryption solutions. In this type of encryption, the keys are separated from the processing of the data. This will provide complete control to the customers for their data.

With this type of encryption solution, enterprises will be able to meet the requirements of GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2. “Security teams in regulated industries don’t just want encryption—they want proof that no one else, including their database vendor, can access their data. CMEK gives enterprises the strongest form of data sovereignty available in a managed service, removing one of the last barriers to deploying AI at scale in healthcare, financial services, and government,” said Charles Xie, Founder and CEO at Zilliz.
