The confidential computing market is growing rapidly, with its valuation expected to leap from $7.26 billion in 2023 to $53.31 billion by 2026 . As this market expands, it signals a new era of data analytics—one where encryption is integral to every process. Opaque Systems stands at this frontier, offering an innovative solution that streamlines artificial intelligence (AI) development by leveraging

Zero trust, less friction

The use of encrypted data for analytics and AI is revolutionizing data strategy for chief information officers (CIOs) and chief data officers (CDOs). Gone are the days of cumbersome data preparation and sanitization. Opaque’s encrypted data analytics solution renders these steps unnecessary, freeing valuable resources and mitigating risks. In an era where data breaches can incur costs of up to $9 million , the ability to process data while it’s encrypted end-to-end is not just an efficiency gain; it’s a financial imperative.

For CIOs and CDOs, the strategic implications are vast. The analytics and AI advancements propelled by Opaque’s technology enable enterprises to confidently navigate the complexities of handling sensitive structured and unstructured data. For instance:
