As enterprises migrate applications into the cloud, security concerns about the data those workloads store and process are inevitable. But how can IT departments ensure that sensitive information covered by stringent data protection laws hosted in public, private, and hybrid cloud environments spanning multiple servers and locations is adequately protected from internal and external threats?
One potential answer is Confidential Computing, which isolates data within an encrypted portion of a server’s memory to make sure it cannot be accessed or tampered with. Predictions from Everest Group published last year indicate that demand for confidential computing solutions will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 90-95% over the next five years to be worth US$54 billion by 2026.
