How Confidential Computing Is Transforming Cloud Security: 7 Key Technologies Protecting Even AI Data
\n When You Need Data That Even Cloud Operators Cannot See You encrypted your data and stored it in the Cloud, then transmitted it securely using TLS. But the moment an application reads and processes that data, it is decrypted into plaintext in memory. If so, is that data truly protected from end to end? This is precisely where the need for Confidential Computing begins. Traditional Cloud security has largely focused on two areas: Data At Rest : Encrypting data stored on disks, databases, and object storage Data In Transit : Encrypting communications between users and servers, and between services, using TLS and other technologies However, real-world processing necessarily takes place after data is loaded into memory for computation. In other words, data can become plaintext while In Use . This stage is exposed to a range of risks, including operating systems, hypervisors, administrative privileges, memory dumps, and malware intrusions. The Cloud environ...
