Confidential Computing with Intel SGX

Garry Binder, Senior Security Architect, introduces the data center security landscape and current trends for a data center security strategy to protect data and platforms without compromising performance. Data in use must be protected from malicious insiders, hackers, and third parties, and this is the reason for a confidential computing-based approach. Intel is a founding member of the Confidential Computing Consortium, which is focused on securing data while it is in use and driving compatibility across the industry. Intel has developed Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX) to help protect against software attacks, increase protections for secrets, prevent future attacks, and provide an option for hardware-based attestation. Joining the presentation is Scott Raynor, Senior Application Engineer, who discusses Intel SGX in detail, and Laura Martinez, Director of Security Marketing, who presents use cases and real-world examples of confidential computing.
