Maximizing data privacy should be on every organization's priority list.

We all know how important it is to keep data and applications secure, but what happens when access to private data is needed to save lives? Should privacy be sacrificed? Does it need to be?

What if it were possible to access the data needed to get contact tracing answers without actually exposing personal data to anyone anywhere? What if data and applications could be secure by default-so that data could be collected, stored, and results delivered without exposing the actual data to anyone except the people involved?

Current systems and software will never deliver the absolute level of data privacy required because of a fundamental hardware flaw: data cannot be simultaneously used and secured.

The data and application enclaves created using this technology enable sensitive data to be processed without ever exposing either the data or the computed results to anyone but the actual end user.
