New CMEK capability gives regulated enterprises full control over encryption keys for AI-scale vector workloads<\/i><\/p>\n

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.<\/span><\/span>, March 20, 2026<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Zilliz<\/a>, the company behind Milvus<\/a>, the world’s most widely adopted open-source vector database<\/a>, today announced the general availability of Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK) on Zilliz Cloud<\/a>. The new capability allows enterprises to retain full ownership of their encryption keys, delivering true data sovereignty for AI workloads in regulated industries.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

As enterprises embed AI into mission-critical workflows, the sensitivity of the underlying data\u2014customer records, medical images, financial transactions\u2014demands security controls that go beyond standard encryption at rest. Regulatory frameworks such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 increasingly require organizations to demonstrate exclusive control over their encryption keys, not just the data they protect. For vector database<\/a> deployments\u2014where embeddings are derived from highly sensitive assets\u2014this requirement is especially acute.<\/p>\n

“Security teams in regulated industries don’t just want encryption\u2014they want proof that no one else, including their database vendor, can access their data. CMEK gives enterprises the strongest form of data sovereignty available in a managed service, removing one of the last barriers to deploying AI at scale in healthcare, financial services, and government,” said Charles Xie<\/span>, Founder and CEO at Zilliz.<\/p>\n

Why\u00a0CMEK Matters for Enterprise AI<\/b><\/p>\n

CMEK on Zilliz Cloud separates key ownership from data processing, ensuring that Zilliz never possesses or accesses customer encryption keys. Key benefits include:<\/p>\n
