Intro

We are proud to announce our membership in the Confidential Computing Consortium (CCC) and our future collaboration within the community. We are committed to safeguarding applications and data during runtime by unlocking the true potential of confidential computing with MADANA CORE.

What is the Confidential Computing Consortium (CCC)?

The CCC is a project community at the Linux Foundation dedicated to defining and accelerating the adoption of confidential computing. It will embody open governance and open collaboration that has aided the success of similarly ambitious efforts. We are proud to be able to join the company of companies like Google, Microsoft, Intel, AMD, Nvidia and Facebook amongst many others.

As you can see from this: the CCC brings together hardware vendors, cloud providers, and software developers to accelerate the adoption of Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) technologies and standards.

So what exactly is Confidential Computing?

Today, data is often encrypted at rest, in storage and in transit across the network, but not while in use in memory. The ability to protect data in use is limited in the currently existing computing infrastructure. Organizations that handle sensitive data need to alleviate threats that target the confidentiality and integrity of either the application or the data in system memory.

Confidential Computing protects data and applications in use by performing computations in hardware-based TEEs. These secure and isolated environments prevent unauthorized access or modification of applications and data while in use, thereby increasing the security assurances for organizations that manage sensitive and regulated data.

Introducing MADANA CORE!

MADANA CORE offers a cybersecurity solution that secures data and applications. Focusing primarily on application security, MADANA CORE is easily integrable into organizations’ current workflows, no matter whether applications are run on-premise or in the cloud. It enables the creation of an isolated environment where, even if the operating system is compromised, the application is protected. Rather than relying on software alone to manage access to resources on these devices, our solution provides security through hardware-based Trusted Execution Environments (TEE’s).
