Fortanix Node Agent is software deployed on Azure confidential computing DC VMs  to manage the compute node and applications running in secure enclaves. The node agent is compatible with Fortanix Confidential Computing Manager which enables running containerized apps in the Intel SGX secure enclaves leveraging Azure Confidential Computing. The Node Agent assists in the verification of hardware and software running on the compute nodes. The Node Agent also assists with application attestation and visibility for Fortanix Confidential Computing Manager.

The Fortanix Confidential Computing Manager enables applications to run in confidential computing environments, verifies the integrity of those environments, and manages the enclave application lifecycle. The solution orchestrates critical security policies such as identity verification, data access control, and code attestation for enclaves that are required for confidential computing. Unlike other approaches, Fortanix provides the flexibility to run and manage the broadest set of applications, including existing applications, new enclave-native applications, and pre-packaged applications.
