In healthcare, privacy is not a procedural hurdle. It is the foundation of patient trust and the condition under which data can be used at all. Patients expect confidentiality. Regulators demand accountability. At the same time, AI has become central to diagnostics, drug discovery, and health system operations. The challenge is no longer whether AI…

How do enterprises use federated learning? 7 real-world use cases for secure AI without exposing sensitive data.

Most Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) projects don’t fail because the math is flawed. They fail because they get stuck answering a deceptively simple question from the business: “So what?” When the pitch for PETs begins and ends with “privacy,” it often fails to gain traction. This isn’t because privacy is unimportant, but because most organizations already…

Artificial intelligence is now reshaping industries and societies, creating significant value and driving technological progress on a global scale. To take advantage of these changes while maintaining control, countries and organizations are turning to sovereign AI. This approach focuses on developing AI systems using locally governed infrastructure, data, talent, and networks, ensuring that critical technology…

Allied nations are entering a new phase of digital sovereignty, one defined not only by how data is protected, but by how it can be used without compromising national interests. As geopolitical tensions rise and AI becomes central to defense strategy, the question is no longer whether nations should modernize their data infrastructure. It’s how…

In the security-conscious sectors of defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure, air-gapped systems remain a cornerstone of data protection. Their design, physically separated from external networks, offers a strong assurance of confidentiality.

Federated learning has grown into a vibrant ecosystem with frameworks that excel at different stages of the journey from experimentation and prototyping to large-scale deployment across real organizations. As this ecosystem matures, interoperability has become mission-critical. Teams want the freedom to innovate with the tools they love while ensuring they can deploy confidently in governed,…

The UK has a rare window of opportunity. Every major economy is racing to define what safe, sovereign, high-value AI looks like. And while the conversation often gravitates to model training, compute, or foundation models, the real bottleneck is something far more fundamental: our ability to use sensitive data and deploy AI systems with confidence…

A first look at how PETs are reshaping patient prescreening If you’ve ever watched a clinical trial stall before enrollment really gets going, you know how painful it is. Every week lost is expensive. And a surprising amount of that delay comes down to one basic issue: patients don’t make it through prescreening. Not because…
