Bloombase and Utimaco Announce Technology Alliance to Deliver Enhanced Data Security Solutions for the AI Era

REDWOOD CITY, California – April 29, 2025 - Bloombase, an intelligent storage firewall company, and Utimaco, a global leader in cybersecurity and key management solutions, today announced a technology alliance partnership to deliver advanced data encryption and centralized key management solutions.

This partnership combines Bloombase’s StoreSafe data security platform with Utimaco’s General Purpose Hardware Security Module (GP HSM) and Enterprise Secure Key Manager (ESKM) to offer customers unparalleled data protection across on-premises and cloud environments.

Highlights of the Partnership:

• Low-Latency Storage System Encryption: The integration of Bloombase StoreSafe with Utimaco’s GP HSM provides low-latency encryption for high-speed storage systems, ensuring data security without compromising speed.
• Transparent Cloud Storage Services Encryption: The integration of Bloombase StoreSafe with Utimaco’s ESKM offers robust encryption for cloud storage services, with centralized key management, streamlining security operations and ensuring compliance.
• Enhanced Security Partnership: This technology alliance provides customers with a powerful, integrated solution for securing sensitive data across their entire infrastructure.

The collaboration will enable seamless integration between Bloombase’s advanced data-at-rest security and Utimaco’s NIST FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified hardware-based key protection and OASIS KMIP-compliant key management. This integrated solution provides a comprehensive security framework, safeguarding sensitive data across diverse storage environments, including on-premises, cloud, and hybrid infrastructures.

The AI era introduces a paradigm shift in data security. With enterprise data, from public to classified, increasingly accessible to AI agents for streamlined business processes and copilot assistance, along with the ever-expanding AI-generated data, the enterprise data landscape faces escalating complexity, manageability, and security challenges. This surge overwhelms traditional data classification and protection methods. This solution ensures that all business data, regardless of classification, is protected, providing a future-proof defense against the evolving security challenges of AI. The integrations streamline adherence to critical regulations like GDPR, DORA, and CCPA, reducing compliance burdens and accelerating time-to-compliance.
