2939: Confidential Computing: Elevating AI and ML Security in the Cloud

The Tech Talks Daily Podcast

In a digital age where enterprises are tasked with protecting an extensive network of data, traditional methods of safeguarding sensitive information often fall short. Static, rules-based models for detecting data breaches rely heavily on the quality of training data, leaving gaps in security. How can organizations bolster their defenses against ever-evolving cyber threats?

In today's episode of the Tech Talks Daily Podcast, we are joined by Shamim Naqvi, CEO of SafeLiShare Inc., to explore the transformative potential of Secure Enclave technology in the cloud, also known as Confidential Computing. Shamim delves into how this cutting-edge technology can enhance data security, especially when leveraging third-party AI and ML models.

SafeLiShare’s ConfidentialAI platform brings unprecedented security to enterprise data pipelines through digital fingerprinting and a tamper-proof, immutable ledger. This ensures comprehensive monitoring of every user, service, account, and machine, employing a zero-trust approach during runtime interactions. By integrating Confidential Computing, organizations can secure their AI workflows, pipelines, and ML operations against unauthorized access and breaches.

SafeLiShare provides runtime security for AI and ML workloads through Confidential Computing, ensuring data is protected during processing. This technology secures data within isolated hardware enclaves, making it inaccessible to external threats and providing auditable logs for compliance. Achieving high levels of security with minimal performance overhead (3-5%) makes this approach feasible for extensive use.

Confidential Computing is set to become pervasive across cloud and on-premises environments, driven by the increasing need for data security and regulatory compliance. Traditional encryption methods differ from Confidential Computing in that the latter protects data during processing using secure enclaves. SafeLiShare’s ConfidentialAI enables the secure use of large language models by combining them with enterprise context data within secure enclaves. This addresses the main challenges in providing confidential context to public AI models while offloading key management to secure enclaves, resulting in significant security benefits.

Join us for an insightful discussion with Shamim Naqvi as we unravel the complexities of data security in the AI era. How can Confidential Computing reshape your approach to protecting sensitive enterprise data? Tune in to find out, and don't forget to share your thoughts on this evolving landscape.
