Fortanix announced that its technology is powering new applications of confidential computing.

Confidential computing protects applications and the sensitive data they process from unauthorized access and tampering at runtime, extending the security already in place for data at-rest and in-motion across the network.

Fortanix was the first company to deliver enterprise applications of confidential computing built on Intel SGX and today is the leader in enabling real-world uses of this technology.

Consilient is using Fortanix Confidential Computing Manager and servers enabled with Intel SGX technology.

"BeeKeeperAI has successfully validated the Massive Transfusion Algorithm on the Fortanix confidential computing platform utilizing SGX in the Azure cloud environment," said Michael Blum, MD, associate vice chancellor for informatics, executive director of CDHI, and professor of medicine, UCSF. "With Ice Lake, the BeeKeeperAI platform will be able to handle larger and more complex data sets for validating clinical-grade AI algorithms. In the weeks ahead we will be employing Ice Lake as we deploy our first customer's algorithm against two distinct health system data sets, including data from UCSF.".

Fortanix Confidential Computing Manager enables "Lift-and-shift" for applications to run inside Intel SGX enclaves without requiring any modification and provides complete enclave lifecycle management from creation to migration to termination.
