At Google Cloud Next UK last month, we announced the alpha version of Google Cloud’s External Key Manager (Cloud EKM). Today, Cloud EKM is available in beta, so we wanted to provide a deeper look at what Cloud EKM is and how it can be valuable for your organization.

In a first for any public cloud, Cloud EKM will let you achieve full separation between your data and your encryption keys. At its heart, Cloud EKM lets you protect data at rest in BigQuery and Compute Engine using encryption keys that are stored and managed in a third-party key management system that’s deployed outside Google’s infrastructure.
