Google Cloud on Tuesday announced breakthrough Confidential Computing
that will encrypt consumer data in-use while it is being processed.
Currently,
as organisations move workloads to the cloud, one of the biggest
concerns they have is how to process sensitive data while keeping it
private.
Google Cloud encrypts data at-rest and in-transit, but customer data must be decrypted for processing.
Confidential Computing environments keep data encrypted in memory and elsewhere outside the central processing unit (CPU).
This
technology will transform the way organizations process data in the
cloud, maintain control over their data, and preserve confidentiality,
Google Cloud said in a statement as it kicked off its ‘Cloud Next'
annual conference for enterprise partners and developers.
Confidential
VMs (virtual machines) is the first product in Google Cloud's
Confidential Computing portfolio. Confidential VMs are available on AMD
CPUs.
"Confidential VMs will help us better serve customers so
they can securely take advantage of the innovation of the cloud while
also simplifying security operations," said Sunil Potti, General Manager
and VP of Security at Google Cloud.
Google Cloud already employs
a variety of isolation and sandboxing techniques as part of its cloud
infrastructure to help make its multi-tenant architecture secure.
Confidential
VMs, now in beta, take this to the next level by offering memory
encryption so that customers can further isolate workloads in the cloud,
said the company.
Google Cloud is the first major cloud provider
to offer this level of security and isolation while giving customers an
easy-to-use solution that doesn't require changing code in apps or
compromising on performance.
Google Cloud also announced new ‘BigQuery Omni' solution that enables data analysis across cloud platforms.
‘BigQuery
Omni' is a multi-cloud analytics solution that enables customers to
bring the power of BigQuery to data stored in Google Cloud, Amazon Web
Services (AWS) and Azure (coming soon).
"BigQuery Omni provides
enterprises with the openness portability they need to break down silos
and create actionable business insights, all without having to pay
expensive egress fees for moving data from other cloud providers to
Google Cloud," said Debanjan Saha, General Manager of Data Analytics,
Google Cloud.
