Frequently asked questions
Explore FAQs about confidential computing on IBM.
IBM Hyper Protect Platform is a suite of services designed to provide a secure-rich environment for mission-critical data and applications in hybrid cloud deployments, using confidential computing capabilities on IBM Z or LinuxONE.
Confidential Computing refers to the protection of data in use by performing computation in an attested, hardware-based Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), helping ensure that data is encrypted and isolated during processing. IBM Hyper Protect Platform use this concept to protect mission-critical workloads and sensitive data.
Operational assurance helps ensure that the operations conducted by service providers and others are compliant and do not intentionally or unintentionally compromise security. This is based on operational measures, which are breakable resulting in the need to trust.
Technical assurance helps ensure that the security features are ingrained in the technology, and it is technically impossible for unauthorized access or changes to occur. This helps ensure that data is secured always, without the need to trust any person or organization to not use privileged access in the case of internal or external attacks.
The Hyper Protect Platform uses IBM Secure Execution for Linux technology that includes hardware and firmware features such as memory encryption, encrypted contracts and an ultravisor to create isolated, secure environments for workloads.
IBM Cloud Virtual Servers for VPC deliver hyperscale compute capacity with the highest network speeds and most secure, software-defined networking resources available on the IBM Cloud. Built on IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and featuring powerful, 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors, this developer-friendly infrastructure helps drive modern workloads faster and easier with preset instance profiles, rapid deployment and private network control in an agile public cloud environment. Choose multitenant or dedicated, add GPUs and pay-as-you-use with monthly billing, or reserve your capacity in advance for reduced costs.
