    Managing Customer-Owned Encryption with the New Key Management Service | feat. Sascha Vierlinger

    Niklas Siemer is joined by Sascha Vierlinger, Product Manager for SAP Key Management service, to unpack customer-owned encryption in cloud landscapes—and why more organizations want control of the “last layer” of trust: the keys. They walk through why encryption matters more in the cloud, the difference between SAP-managed vs. customer-managed keys, and what a modern Key Management Service (KMS) needs to deliver: secure key storage, lifecycle controls (enable/disable/delete), auditability, and operational safeguards like the four-eyes principle.
