Neo4j has released Customer Managed Keys (CMKs) for its fully managed graph database as a service, Neo4j Aura. This feature allows organizations to encrypt their Neo4j-managed graph databases with their own cloud-based keys, providing increased autonomy and security. CMKs enable users to define access permissions and usage policies according to their specific security requirements, ensuring robust encryption and access controls. By using CMKs, organizations can comply with strict data protection and privacy regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. The feature is currently available for Amazon Web Services keys, with plans to support Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform keys in the future. To get started, users can log in to the Aura Console or visit Neo4j Support.
