This has led to a resurgence of interest, advances, and commercialization in the area of privacy enhancing technologies, or PETs, a powerful category of technologies that enable, enhance, and preserve data privacy throughout its lifecycle.

By adopting a data-centric approach to privacy and security, these technologies help ensure that sensitive data remains protected during processing.

PETs is an umbrella term describing technologies that secure data in use and are essential to preserving and enhancing privacy and security while searches or analytics are performed.

While there is some nuance depending on application and use case, in general, the more secure the technology, the more privacy enhancing or privacy-preserving capabilities it provides.

Privacy enhancing technologies deliver technical solutions to this challenge.
