eweekchat

Thanks so much, Bruce. It IS my day today, and I am off work, but wouldn't miss one of these if at all possible. I'm on PTO in Carmel, Calif., so hard to beat the location!

By they way, Chris. I hear that a quick Happy Birthday wish is in order! Thanks for hosting and not taking the day off!

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!

This has been a great and informative discussion. Outstanding interaction and engagement. Want to thank each of you who brought a perspective, opinion or data point to our community round table today. We've averaged about two tweets per minute!

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.

FYI: Today's discussion will continue to be accessible on this website for another three weeks, or until the next #eWEEKchat is set up; thereafter it will be archived for a year or so at CrowdChat.net.

We've 10 mins left, how about some final thoughts and perhaps some takeaways you got from this session?

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.

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.
