We are excited to bring Transform 2022 back in-person July 19 and virtually July 20 – 28. San Francisco-based Opaque Systems, a company enabling collaborative analytics and AI for confidential computing, today announced it has raised $22 million in a series A round of funding. Confidential computing has been a game-changer for enterprises. It encrypts sensitive data in a protected CPU enclave or trusted execution environment (TEE), giving companies a way to move beyond policy-based privacy and security to safeguard their information in the cloud. However, with this level of encryption, which can only be unlocked with keys held by the client, multiple parties struggle to access, share, analyze and run AI/ML on the data in question.
