If you are keeping up with the latest technology in cloud computing-related security, you have probably seen that several Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) have announced “confidential VMs” as part of their Confidential Computing offering. So, what exactly is...

If you’re interested in Confidential Computing to encrypt data and applications in use, then you must be interested in attestation, because, without it, you’re not doing Confidential Computing right. Specifically, without attestation, you really don’t have the documented...

War, inflation, layoffs – if we let it, reading the news can often consume us and drag us down. For a change of perspective, we at Profian thought it would be timely to counter the negative headlines by...

Confidential Computing is a leading-edge security technology that encrypts sensitive data in use in a public cloud, private cloud or on-premises. It completes the data security triangle since data at rest (in storage) and in transit (across networks)...

Back when they worked at Red Hat, Mike Bursell and Nathaniel McCallum grappled with the challenges of confidential computing — isolating an organization’s most sensitive data in a secure enclave while processing it. Confidential computing is of particular...

Tremendous progress has been made over the last several years to protect sensitive data in transit and in storage. But sensitive data may still be vulnerable when it is in use. Author(s): Walid Rjaibi Source: IBM Security Intelligence...

Although WebAssembly brings languages other than HTML, CSS and JavaScript to the browser, it’s not a JavaScript replacement and it takes a very different approach from Flash, Active X plugins and other techniques that encapsulated non-web code for...

Confidential computing technology protects data during processing. Exclusive control of encryption keys delivers stronger end-to-end data security in the cloud. Author(s): Nataraj Nagaratnam Source: IBM Cloud Learn Hub Link: https://www.ibm.com/cloud/learn/confidential-computing

As computing moves to span multiple environments—from on-prem to public cloud to edge computing—organizations need security controls that can safeguard sensitive intellectual property (IP) and workload data wherever the data resides. Highly regulated applications and mission critical applications...
