Here’s what we discussed:

Is your data encrypted while it is used, indexed, queried, or trained on? Are your encryption keys exportable or not? How you answer these questions determines whether you can unlock public cloud computing scenarios that have previously not been possible.

In this session, we discussed how Google Cloud Confidential Computing with Confidential VMs allows you to collaborate in the cloud with high security and high performance. This is made possible by hardware-based inline memory encryption that generates a dedicated per-VM instance key. These keys are generated by the AMD Secure Processor during VM creation and reside solely within it, making them unavailable to Google or any VMs running on the host.

Come with questions and your most challenging use cases.

About AMD:

The 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors used by Google for its Confidential VMs uses an advanced security feature called Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV).

SEV is available on all AMD EPYC processors. When enabled by an OEM or cloud provider, it encrypts the data-in-use on a virtual machine, helping to keep it isolated from other guests, the hypervisor, and even the system administrators.

The SEV feature works by providing each virtual machine with an encryption key that separates guests and the hypervisor from one another. These keys are created, distributed, and managed by the AMD Secure Processor.

The benefit of SEV is that customers don’t have to re-write or re-compile applications to access these security features.

Participation in the Virtual Roundtable is free of charge to qualified attendees. Once you’ve completed the registration, we’ll confirm your invitation and send you a calendar invite with a link to the meeting.

If you don’t qualify, we’ll suggest other learning events that may be a better fit for you.
