Confidential Computing significantly boosts cloud security by creating secure, isolated environments for sensitive data processing. This is accomplished using Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), which encrypt data in use, thereby shielding it from unauthorised access, including by cloud administrators. Key to this technology are cloud encryption proxies, which encrypt data before it's sent to the cloud. This ensures that neither cloud providers nor unauthorised third parties can access plaintext data. This technology is pivotal for sectors dealing with sensitive data, ensuring compliance with strict data protection standards while taking full advantage of cloud computing's benefits.
