3. Why These Two Matter Right Now

ae AU is posting up operation ad shrinking the

tance between data an ation le makes device manter
nd responses ter, rc fo realtime applications.
Confidential Computing is ising e bar or must and
compliance. With data privacy as tghtning globally,
pam cant fon be cama wh proc

Tor thee two tend ar

+ Making AT ter and more cont

+ Building trast for ATi highly reputed sectors

+ Allowing innovation in places where privacy wed to be
blocker (ice healthcare, defense, and finance)

‘And for CTO? This moans rethinking schier,

hardware schein, and DevSccOps practices.

4, Real World Use Case Already ia Play
‘Healthcare Disgantic:

Hospital using ps device to rum had scans (ike
detecting carly signs of cancer) without sendin, ptet dat
to thin pay server: With Confidential Computing, that

diapos data stays scare during the entire process.

‘Smart Cie:
‘Trafic camera with builtin Alcan now detect siden,
jsywalling or shandonod vebicior in realtime, No clad
‘delays. No central File points.

Retail Analytics:
store sensors can track octal, dwell tims, and product
inkrest—all while snonymizing and encrypting user
Behavior

Finance & Payments:

and without cxposing transaction data to thir party

Defense and Surveillance:

5. Challenges CTOs Need to Watch For

Hardware Compatibility:

[Edge Al requires compatible chips, alerts, and
‘senor. Not all existing devices are ready. Thats a eal
infractor cost o consider

Energy Consumption:
Reming Al locally mean higher compete on-devi.
ower constr ocome a serious cio, cpecaly for
ay operated systems

Security Bind Spots:
Wie Confident! Compatin offers strong protection,
ite il now. Bugs, firmware tacks, or poor
implementation can cate false confidence.

Limited Talent Pool:
‘You'll oc developer mila with ce deployment,
embod yume, Al model opinion, and cd
‘hardware. That combination sil rae.

Complesity in Deployment:
Coca acres unde (o hoard) of
‘cdg devices n't cay. You'l nod the right management
tools and protocol.

6. Hw to Start Integrating Edge Al and Confidential

bulletproof privacy. They're decentairing data without
losing contr. They giving devices autonomy without
‘mating hem risky

Ter a quick action chock to stat fom:

+ Adit whore Isny matter in your cren systems

+ densify seitive data ppelin hat nea aime
precio

+ Start POC with vendor offering ge Al tools
(NVIDIA Jetson, Google Coral, te.)

‘+ Choose a cloud provider fring Confidential Visor
TEE

+ Upa of hire or embedded ML and confidential
computing

‘+ Build a monitoring and update strategy for ode devices
+ Stay close to now options on Al and data privacy
Final Thought

"Edge Aland Confidential Computing arn just bazrwords
in 2025. Thoy'n tho new architect for ren time
intlience and tt

you are CTO, the choice is simple: start now or geile
Behind. The companies leading the next wave of novation
“wil be the ones that combine performance and privacy, at
the edge.
