As a founding member of the Confidential Computing Consortium (CCC), Intel is excited to see the CCC publish a comprehensive use case report. “The Case for Confidential Computing” showcases real-world stories and novel ways organizations are leveraging Confidential Computing to protect data in use and ensure security and privacy across various environments.
The Importance of Confidential Computing
Confidential Computing is revolutionizing the way we handle sensitive data by providing security measures that were previously unattainable. By protecting data in the Trusted Execution Environment during processing, Confidential Computing ensures that you can confidently migrate data to the cloud, collaborate with multiple parties, strengthen data compliance & sovereignty, and harden application security & IP protection.
Real-World Applications
The CCC’s use case report highlights six dynamic applications across industries. From healthcare to finance, these real-world examples illustrate how organizations are achieving enhanced security and compliance while maintaining performance and functionality.
- Confidential Data Clean Rooms Uncover Efficient Marketing Outcomes
- Secure Data Processing Enables Public Cloud Adoption
- Attestation and Secure Enclaves Strengthen Global Data Protection and Compliance
- Confidential Computing Boosts Confidential AI for Enterprises
- Multiparty Data Collaboration Helps Combat Money Laundering
- Privacy-Preserving Data Aggregation Leads to Better Healthcare Outcomes
