FIPS-140 Level 3 encryption is just an API call away

Hey! I’m Marko, I’ll be talking about how to do FIPS140 filed level encryption with NGINX and AWS KMS! Come check it out!

What if encrypting sensitive data fields to FIPS 140-2 Level 3 standards was as simple as an API call? In this session, we’ll show you exactly that — using NGINX integrated with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) and a FIPS 140-2 Security Level 3 validated Hardware Security Module (HSM) as the root key store. We’ll dive into how NGINX can enforce field-level encryption on sensitive data — think PII, financial records, healthcare information — as it flows through your infrastructure, with the heavy cryptographic lifting handled seamlessly by KMS. No complex key management headaches, no compromise on compliance. Just powerful, policy-driven field-level encryption, one API call away. The session includes a technology overview, real-world code examples, and a live demo.
