Two years ago, a group of tech companies introduced a new roadmap for cloud computing security. Confidential computing “uses hardware-based techniques to isolate data, specific functions, or an entire application from the operating system, hypervisor or virtual machine manager, and other privileged processes,” says IEEE Spectrum. Today, businesses and agencies are looking for a new way to keep their data secure in the cloud. That’s even more key for financial services clients, vehicle makers, health insurance providers and telecommunication service providers. These sectors face specific compliance rules as well as a growing number of broader data protection rules. || Mike Coppola
