98. What That Means with Camille: Confidential Computing with Ron Perez, 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 continues to dive into the idea of confidential computing and trust execution environments with Ron Perez, Intel Fellow, Chief Security Architect, CTO Office. The conversation covers:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  What confidential computing and trust execution environments are.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  Why we need them, and what data needs to be inside them.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  How confidential computing works in something like the cloud.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  Balancing security with usage and effectiveness using confidential computing.</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;">-  Security is a very broad term. It can be making sure there are no vulnerabilities in products and also tapping into new capabilities and features for customers. The latter is where Ron focuses, because he wants to make sure technology is not limiting people, but is allowing them to do things they wouldn’t or couldn’t do before.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  An example of this is cloud computing. It makes things more efficient and easier to be shared, but it also comes with security vulnerabilities. So new security needs to be developed to assure the safety of the work in these environments.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  A perfect security situation is essentially encasing your computer in cement and not using it. But that’s not very useful. People are wan
