The Case for Confidential Computing

Download Report
As the collection, storage, and analysis of data becomes increasingly important across industries, businesses are looking for solutions that keep data secure and processes compliant with regulations. Confidential computing is one of these solutions, involving the use of a trusted execution environment that runs on shared infrastructure but processes data away from unauthorized users.
 
This use case report interviewed members of the confidential computing community on the ways they have implemented the technology and what they believe its future holds. The report looks at the use of confidential computing from a number of different perspectives:
  • Maintaining confidentiality for personalized marketing
  • Securing data processing in the cloud
  • Preserving data confidentiality for AI solutions
  • Combating money laundering
  • Aggregating data for healthcare research
 
This report, sponsored by the Confidential Computing Consortium, showcases the power of confidential computing to secure data at every stage of its lifecycle. Download the report for a deep dive into the breadth of this technology!
