re:Invent 2022 is a wrap! From the many insightful meetings with customers, to our field CTO, Domnick Eger, presentation, the thousands of demos at our booth and the lively public sector reception with Carahsoft, we had a blast and left more excited than ever about the response and interest in Confidential Computing.

Anjuna’s vision for confidential computing

Why is confidential computing so important? How will it change cloud infrastructure and security? These are common questions that we hear from customers that are starting their journey with Confidential Computing. Our co-founder and CEO, Ayal Yogev, joined the cast at theCube to discuss them and elaborate on Anjuna's role. The Cube’s host, Savannah Peterson and Paul Gillin, seizes the opportunity to discuss these topics with Ayal posing some great questions:

  • How is Anjuna able to serve the most notoriously security strict customers in the world, specifically referencing Israeli Minister of Defense?
  • How does confidential computing change the shared responsibility model with cloud service providers?
  • Where do you see confidential computing going in the next 2 - 5 years?

Watch the video below to hear what Ayal has to say.

  2. Powering Amazon EC2: Deep dive on the AWS Nitro System - CMP301
  3. Using AWS Nitro Enclaves for secure blockchain key management - BLC401
  4. Establishing trust with cryptographically attested identity - SEC316

Anjuna unlocks the full potential of AWS Nitro Enclaves

Our goal at Anjuna is to make the adoption of confidential computing with Nitro Enclaves a no brainer for a wide range of applications. Our software platform provides essential capabilities to take any container application and without code changes run it fully secured in a high trust environment eliminating any additional development or operational overhead that would otherwise be needed.
