Our Next Cyber Talk is on operations and intelligence analysis methods involving searches and analytics performed on external datasets can be very revealing. This exposure includes not only attribution (who is performing it), but also the content of the operation itself (what is being searched for), which may include sensitive information that would be extremely damaging to national security if exposed. Recent advances in an increasingly visible technology category known as Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) are changing the paradigm of secure data usage by allowing sensitive indicators to be securely processed while remaining in the untrusted domain, extending the boundaries of trusted compute.
PETs are transformative because the mission-enabling capabilities they deliver are not making something better; they are making something entirely new possible. Users can encrypt the content of their search, analytic, or machine learning model, ensuring their interests and intents remain secure and private throughout the processing lifecycle. This allows U.S. Government organizations to leverage publicly available, open-source, and/or low-side, government-curated data sources in ways that were never before possible.
