Overview
Protecting data privacy and security on your most sensitive workloads
Data privacy and secure multiparty data analytics
Increase data privacy and security surrounding business and consumer data by protecting data in use. Discover new opportunities with multiparty data analytics and machine learning that combine datasets to keep data private among participants. Take advantage of the broad range of confidential compute offerings Azure provides, including hardware, services, SDKs, and deployment tools.
Protect data in use
Help secure your sensitive and regulated data while it's being processed in the cloud. Azure confidential computing encrypts data in memory in hardware-based trusted execution environments and processes it only after the cloud environment is verified. This helps prevent data access by cloud providers, administrators, and users. Build on top of highly secure hardware using familiar tools, software, and cloud infrastructure, or migrate your existing workloads and applications.
Share AI insights confidentially
Combine datasets confidentially, without exposing your data to other contributing organizations. Benefit from confidential computing and valuable AI and machine learning insights. Upload encrypted data to a secure enclave in a virtual machine (VM) and perform algorithms on datasets from multiple sources.
Own your data
Migrate to the cloud and keep full control of your data in a trusted execution environment. Specify the hardware and software that have access to your data and code, and verifiably enforce this guarantee. You’ll retain control over your protected information to meet government regulations and compliance needs. Customize your confidential computing path using tools and solutions built in Azure, in open-source frameworks, and by independent software vendor partners.
