This week welcomed the long-awaited Google Cloud Next ’23 event, marking a significant milestone as the first in-person gathering since 2020. The excitement was considerable, with record-breaking crowds at the venue. Futurex and Google co-presented a well-attended and received session, shared news about certification and product announcements, and set the stage to share our expertise at the forefront of the global cryptography industry.

Keys to the kingdom 

As a leader in data security and encryption solutions, Futurex made waves with a presentation titled “Keys to the Kingdom: Everything You Need to Know About Your Encryption Keys.” Joining us onstage was Google Cloud’s Nelly Porter, Head of Product, GCP Confidential Computing and Encryption. We shared updates about the Futurex-Google partnership across several key product lines.

Notably, discussions revolved around Futurex’s pivotal role in Google Cloud External Key Manager (EKM), Google Workspace Client-side Encryption (CSE), and the launch of the “bare metal HSM for payments” offering, which set the stage for Futurex’s moment in the spotlight. 

If you couldn’t join us live, we’re happy to share the on-demand version of the Google/Futurex session here. 

Collaboration around the corner 

One of the event’s defining moments was Futurex’s role as a launch partner for Google’s bare metal HSM for payments service. This offering allows customers to deploy Futurex payment HSMs within Google data centers worldwide, solidifying support for enterprise customers. This achievement strategically positions our company as a critical player in relationships with all major public cloud providers.
