OPAQUE Systems, the industry’s first Confidential AI platform, announced the availability of its secure AI solution on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. By integrating confidential computing with popular data and AI tools, OPAQUE lets enterprises process sensitive data fully encrypted, from ingestion to inference, without costly code rewrites or specialized cryptographic skills.
As AI use cases become more sophisticated, particularly due to the rise in agentic AI workflows generating autonomous actions, enterprises are increasingly demanding cryptographically verifiable security and privacy. OPAQUE is the only platform that meets these needs in three critical phases:
- Before Execution (Attestation): OPAQUE verifies each AI workflow and Agent with cryptographic attestations, ensuring only authorized code can run.
- During Execution (Real-time Policy Enforcement): End-to-end data protection with runtime encryption, enforcing data-access policies at the source and blocking any unauthorized or out-of-scope queries in real-time.
- After Execution (Immutable Auditing): Leveraging a hardware-backed trusted execution environment, OPAQUE generates tamper-proof logs of all AI actions, simplifying compliance with regulations like GDPR and HIPAA.
