In the dynamic world of open technology, where data flows as freely as conversations in a crowded room, ensuring privacy and security is paramount. In this talk we explore how Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) are evolving to create secure, invisible spaces for sensitive data processing. We'll illustrate how confidential computing safeguards information in government and public policy sectors. Attendees will gain insights into the intricate balance of openness and security, understanding the critical role of TEEs in protecting a digital dialogue of algorithmic assets.
