Is this something that only nation states today would be using?

Or is this something that we are likely to start to see as just the standard way that organizations protect data?

Similar to how there are regulatory requirements for handling the credit card information.

Like it all sort of form part of that.

Do you foresee a world where this just becomes the standard way organizations just go about managing data?

Are we at the stage where actually there isn't a particularly big resource overhead?

Okay.

So what measures are put in place so people will trust a confidential computing environment?

Got it.

Nigel, thank you so much for your time.

It's been a real pleasure chatting.

You know what, Sam?

I love learning new terminology that I've never heard before.

It's one of the best things about doing this podcast.

I'd never heard of confidential computing until I sat down and had this conversation with Nigel.

Is it new to you?

Have you heard of it before?

Yeah, so the concept is that data is encrypted at rest and data is encrypted in transit.

But where it's not encrypted is when that data is being processed or often isn't encrypted when that data is being processed.

And that's where that data can be vulnerable.
