Fortanix Confidential Data Search uses the power of confidential computing to replicate standard databases in a secure enclave, protecting the data-in-use while the database is decrypted. In contrast to homomorphic encryption, regular database queries produce faster results, especially when the query granularity increases, as there are fewer records to analyze. With limited computational demand, Confidential Data Search scales for large and complex data sets in the Terabyte order size.

By offering a standard database environment, such as SQL, with an unlimited search language scope, that any data analyst is familiar with, organizations can rapidly deploy their data-driven initiatives. Users do not need to convert their datasets to new complex proprietary database formats or deploy proprietary agents. In addition, the solution uses proven encryption standards for increased trustworthiness, including readiness for post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
