Security News > 2021 > August > Can the public cloud become confidential?

On-premises, private cloud, and public cloud data are all vulnerable to insiders and malicious software.

According to 451 Research, nearly 70% of CISOs say the public cloud can't be rationally trusted to keep sensitive data and workloads confidential.

While CISOs continue to maintain private data centers for their most sensitive workloads, public cloud vendors have responded by deploying secure computing technologies intended to transform vulnerable public computing resources into completely confidential ones.

The good news is these same confidential computing technologies lay the foundation for a new software-based computing construct which makes secure computing easier for IT organizations to adopt, regardless of the underlying technology and public cloud.

The Confidential Cloud is a secure confidential computing environment formed over one or more public cloud providers.

Virtually all the major public cloud providers have deployed some form of confidential computing hardware around the globe as a clickable option to their current host offerings.
