Building trust in the cloud: A new era of security and data trust

Organizations are moving their critical workloads to the cloud, embracing AI and pushing the boundaries of innovation. Yet, with these advancements come significant concerns around security, data privacy and trust—especially in a world where data is the new currency.

At HCLTech, we understand that securing data in a multicloud environment is more than just a checkbox—it's a business imperative. This knowledge led us to forge a powerful collaboration with Intel, bringing together the strengths of Intel’s Trusted Domain Extensions (TDX) and Tiber Trust Authority with HCLTech’s CloudSMART Factory services. Together, we are setting new standards for security and data trust, ensuring that businesses can innovate without compromising on their most valuable asset.

The business drivers: Why security and data trust matter more than ever

Imagine a world where data is free to flow across boundaries, shared seamlessly between partners, suppliers and customers—yet remains entirely secure. This isn't just a vision, it's a necessity. Companies today face increasing pressure to protect sensitive information, comply with ever-evolving regulations and ensure that their cloud environments are as secure as possible.

While transformative, the move to the cloud introduces new risks. Data is no longer confined within the four walls of an organization; it's dispersed across public, private and hybrid clouds. With this dispersion comes the challenge of maintaining control, ensuring privacy and building trust—both with customers and within the supply chain. This is where our joint offering with Intel steps in. By leveraging Intel’s TDX and Tiber Trust Authority, we enable businesses to create secure enclaves within the cloud—where data can be processed and shared without ever exposing it to unauthorized parties. This ensures that data remains confidential, even in the most distributed and complex environments.

Confidential computing: The technology that’s changing the game

Confidential computing is more than just a buzzword; it's a game-changer for industries that rely on the cloud. At its core, confidential computing uses hardware-based security mechanisms to isolate sensitive data during processing, ensuring that it remains encrypted and protected at all times.

Intel’s TDX technology takes this concept to the next level by enabling the creation of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) within cloud infrastructures. These TEEs are secure zones within a processor, designed to protect data and code from unauthorized access—even from the cloud provider.

But technology alone isn't enough. To truly unlock the potential of confidential computing, it needs to be paired with robust governance and a clear understanding of the business needs. This is where HCLTech’s CloudSMART Factory services come into play. We provide the industrialized services and frameworks needed to deploy, manage and scale these secure environments, ensuring that businesses can focus on innovation while we handle the complexities of security and compliance.

The Power of collaboration: Enhancing trust across verticals and use cases

The real beauty of our joint offering lies in its versatility. Whether in finance, healthcare, manufacturing or retail, the ability to securely share data across partners and platforms is a game-changer. This is especially true in industries where data privacy isn't just a concern—it's a regulatory requirement.

Take AI, for instance. As AI models become more complex and data-hungry, the need to protect the underlying data has never been greater. Our solution enables organizations to harness the power of AI while ensuring that the data driving these models remains secure and confidential.

Moreover, the collaboration between Intel and HCLTech doesn’t stop at technology. It extends to a shared commitment to privacy-preserved collaboration. We’re enabling organizations to work together across borders and industries, secure in the knowledge that their data is protected, their privacy is preserved and their compliance obligations are met.

A new era of trust: The future is now

As we move forward, the need for security and data trust will only grow. The cloud is no longer a luxury; it's the backbone of modern business. But with this shift comes the responsibility to ensure that data remains secure, private and trusted.

At HCLTech, we're excited to be at the forefront of this transformation. Our partnership with Intel is just the beginning. Together, we're committed to driving innovation in security and data trust, helping businesses navigate the challenges of the digital age with confidence.

In conclusion, the future of security, trust and data sharing lies in the hands of those who are willing to embrace new technologies and rethink traditional approaches. Confidential computing, powered by the collaboration between Intel and HCLTech, is more than just a solution—it's a vision for a future where trust is built into every digital interaction, enabling businesses to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.
