Confidential Computing

Invary: The Essential Foundation for Confidential Computing

Confidential Computing is revolutionizing the way sensitive data is processed by ensuring its confidentiality and integrity, even during computation. At its core, Confidential Computing relies on attestation, a critical principle that provides cryptographic proof of a system's integrity and trustworthiness. 

Without robust attestation mechanisms, the entire foundation of Confidential Computing is compromised, leaving sensitive data vulnerable to corruption or exposure. Invary brings an unparalleled level of trust and assurance to Confidential Computing environments by providing continuous Runtime Integrity verification, ensuring systems remain secure throughout their operation.

Continuous Runtime Integrity Verification with Invary

Attestation is a cornerstone of Confidential Computing, as highlighted by the Confidential Computing Consortium: “Attestation provides assurances that the hardware, software, and workloads have not been tampered with and are in a known-good state.” 

Invary extends this principle by continuously verifying the runtime integrity of all components in a system, from the kernel and operating system to applications and hardware. This ensures that the layers of a Confidential Computing environment operate as intended, free from unauthorized modifications or malicious interference.

Real-Time Attestation for Both Physical and Virtual Infrastructure

In Confidential Computing, workloads often span across hybrid cloud infrastructures, virtual machines, and containerized environments. These diverse environments are only as secure as their foundational layers. 

With Invary, organizations gain real-time attestation for both physical and virtual infrastructure, eliminating the risk of compromise at the very core of their systems. This is especially critical for multi-tenant environments where shared hardware resources could inadvertently expose sensitive data. Invary's ability to continuously monitor and validate system behavior ensures that workloads remain isolated and confidential, even in complex and high-risk setups.

A Trusted Solution for Sensitive Industries

For organizations handling sensitive government, healthcare, or financial data, Invary provides the trust required to fully adopt Confidential Computing principles. By leveraging NSA-licensed Kernel Integrity Measurement (KIM) technology, Invary ensures runtime integrity across critical systems, guaranteeing that data confidentiality and integrity are preserved. 

As Confidential Computing continues to redefine secure data processing, Invary stands as an essential enabler, providing the runtime assurance needed to meet the highest standards of trust and security.
