What is Key Management Service?

Key Management Service

A Key Management System (KMS) is a security solution that enables customers to generate, manage, and revoke their own private keys. These keys are used to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data, and are typically used in conjunction with other security solutions to protect the data. The KMS service is provided by a trusted provider such as Complior.

Complior KMS as a service, allows customers to create and manage their own private keys, which are protected by a secure and tamper-proof Hardware Security Module (HSM). The HSM is designed to protect the keys from unauthorized access and breaches. 

KMS also provides a centralized management interface, enabling customers to easily manage and revoke keys. This feature is particularly useful for organizations that need to comply with strict data privacy regulations, as it allows them to quickly revoke access to data in the event of a security incident.
