FLUIDOS TechTalk #4 explores Confidential Computing for Sovereign Clouds

We are excited to share the latest edition of our FLUIDOS TechTalks series, which continues to foster discussions on groundbreaking innovations in cloud and edge computing. In TechTalk #4, Matthieu Legré from CYSEC explores the potential of confidential computing through his presentation titled “Sovereign Private Cloud: A Confidential Computing Solution for the Italian Public Administration.”

Presented initially during the Confidential Computing Summit 2024, this session addressed the importance of sovereign cloud infrastructures tailored to the unique needs of public institutions. By leveraging confidential computing technologies, Matthieu emphasised how these solutions can enhance data security, privacy and regulatory compliance within the Italian public sector.

The key takeaways from the session included:

• The concept of sovereign clouds that prioritise local control over data and infrastructure.
• How confidential computing enables secure and private processing of sensitive information within public administration systems.
• The potential impact of this approach on fostering trust between citizens and governmental services by ensuring data sovereignty.
