Privacy and Confidential Computing Gains Momentum. Another approach to shoring up cybersecurity, particularly when addressing communications and data privacy, is confidential computing.

Google, Microsoft, IBM, Alibaba, and VMware are helping develop new protocols and best practices by way of the Confidential Computing Consortium. The tech is still in a state of relative infancy, but we should begin to see confidential computing slide into the mainstream in 2021.
