Final Thoughts: CC is another example of how the security industry is still in its infancy even though
we've been going at it for years, trying to protect organizations information. CC was birthed thanks to hardware/chip developers and now its time for sw to bring it home!

Great conversation - thank you.

A5: The need to process data without revealing it has never been more relevant in this era of massive data generation, sophisticated analytics techniques and stringent privacy regulations. CC is a promising initiative to accomplish this goal.

A5 The next big step is making it easy to convert existing apps to run in #confidentialcomputing environments in public cloud rather than rewriting apps. Also, have availability of infrastructure across all the public cloud providers in different regions will be a big boost to CC

A5: The hyperscale cloud providers have all either announced or gone GA with #confidentialcomputing infrastructure this year. The chip manufacturers also have made major announcement/progress in CC hardware. So, the answer is yes.

Agreed. Its either here or coming soon for all the cloud providers - customers want it and their on-prem systems will be next.
Bruce Kornfeld
A5: Completely agree, Chris. CC is coming, big time! The hardware (chip sets) are there, high performance, low cost, etc...Now the security software industry is getting ready to unveil lots of ways to leverage this infrastructure to better protect customer's information.

A5: Cloud providers are making it easy to spin up new confidential compute instances. Popular tools are already being worked on to take advantage of running on TEE.

A5: I do hope to see a world where "confidential computing" is enabled by default at every cloud provider. From the performance benchmarks we're seeing from different providers, the drawbacks seem fairly limited.

A5: When we talk about our personal data, whether it’s messages sent to our loved ones, financial records, or health records, I expect my data to be handled securely. When using Face ID, Apple doesn't ask the user "do you want to use the Secure Enclave to protect your face map?"

Subject to computational cost my sense is that yes this will happen. CC is something where the building blocks exist.
Chris Preimesberger
Q5: What is your take on how confidential computing and TEE (Trusted Execution Environments) will catch on this year and into next year? I am sensing a major trend with all the big IT guns now behind it.
