Confidential Computing: Protecting Data in Use
Confidential computing helps organizations protect sensitive data while it is actively being processed, addressing a critical security gap beyond traditional encryption for data at rest and in transit. As cloud adoption and AI workloads expand, APIs increasingly handle valuable data but remain a growing target for attackers. Akamai combines confidential computing with API security to enable secure analysis of API traffic while keeping data encrypted during use. Through trusted execution environments, advanced API monitoring, and threat detection, organizations can reduce exposure, strengthen compliance, and protect sensitive information from both internal and external threats across cloud and AI-driven environments.
