Enveil Explains: What is Data In Use?

Data is often an organization’s largest and most valuable asset, making it a prime target for all types of adversaries. If there is sensitive data at stake, it must be protected at all times. Ensuring the protection of sensitive assets requires a holistic, data-centric approach — a strategy we describe by using The Data Triad.

Leveraging the power of Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs), Enveil’s ZeroReveal solutions protect Data in Use by ensuring the content of your search, analytic, or machine learning model – and its corresponding results – remain encrypted during processing. These capabilities uniquely allow organizations to securely derive insights, cross-match, and search third-party data assets without compromising the security or ownership of the underlying data.
