97. What That Means with Camille: Confidential Computing with Amy Santoni, Intel Fellow

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode of</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cyber Security Inside What That Means</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Camille breaks down and defines confidential computing with Amy Santoni, Intel Fellow, Design Engineering Group, and Chief Xeon Security Architect, Datacenter Processor Architecture. The conversation covers:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  What confidential computing is and why it is important.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  Why confidential computing is a focus of cybersecurity development right now.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  What a trusted execution environment is.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  What to put in a trusted execution environment and what data is safe to stay out.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">...and more. Don’t miss it!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The views and opinions expressed are those of the guests and author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Intel Corporation.</span></em></p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <p><strong>Here are some key takeaways:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  Xeon is a line of processors in the server space that Intel produces. This is what Amy works in.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  Confidential computing is about protecting data as it is being processed. It is protecting it while it is processing in the CPU. Experts have really figured out how to protect data where it is stored and while it is being transmitted, so now it is about while it is in use.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  The reason we are getting to this now, is that it follows how the attacks have happened. The attacks started at what is on your disks, then intercepting in transit, and now this is where attacks are happening.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  An example of this happening that is current is COVID x-rays.
