[{"type":"text","content":"\nSwiss Re explores further protection of critical data using confidential computing, powered by Intel SGX technology and enabled by Decentriq\n\n SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nSubhead of release should read: Swiss Re explores further protection of critical data using confidential computing, powered by Intel SGX technology and enabled by Decentriq\n\nThe updated release reads:\n\nINTEL, DECENTRIQ AND SWISS RE IMPROVE DATA PRIVACY\n\nSwiss Re explores further protection of critical data using confidential computing, powered by Intel SGX technology and enabled by Decentriq\n\nWhat’s New: Swiss Re, a leading global reinsurance provider, is working with Decentriq’s confidential computing-based platform powered by Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX) to help secure data privacy while performing analytics on sensitive datasets. This collaboration allows Swiss Re to apply Intel SGX technology to its cloud services to provide new levels of protection to data in use, harnessing the industry’s most tested and most widely deployed hardware-based data center-trusted execution environment.\n\n“As a data and technology-driven risk knowledge company, Swiss Re intends to make use of confidential computing technologies to better protect sensitive data and gain actionable insights. I’m optimistic this will continue to allow us to access and analyze data in new ways to help unlock new forms of value creation in risk protection today and in the future.”\n\n–– Sebastian Eckhardt, expert business analyst, Swiss Re\n\nHow It Works: In a world where organizations are continuously storing and sharing sensitive data, from credit card transactions to medical records, protecting the most sensitive of assets is essential. Decentriq is providing security by encrypting applications and data everywhere – at rest, in motion and in use – with its technology built upon Intel SGX. This enables organizations like Swiss Re, that have traditionally faced challenges gaining access to datasets that contain sensitive information, to extract analytical, actionable insights from this data without impacting consumer privacy.\n\nIn a proof of concept in marine insurance, Swiss Re used a shipping dataset from a supply chain data aggregator to process data where, typically, data privacy and competitive concerns have presented barriers to access.
