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...

Privacy and Confidential Computing Gains Momentum. Another approach to shoring up cybersecurity, particularly when addressing communications and data privacy, is confidential computing. The idea of confidential computing is to encrypt the entire computing process, not just the data,...

Confidential computing — one of 33 technologies on the Gartner Hype Cycle for Cloud Security, 2020 — is a security mechanism that protects code and data from the host system. By making critical information invisible to third parties,...

When Nathaniel McCallum and I embarked on the project that is now called Enarx, we made one decision right at the beginning: the code for Enarx would be open source, a stance fully supported by our employer, Red...
