Keynote: Attested, Transparent, Sovereign: The Evolution of Confidential - M. Russinovich, Microsoft

Keynote: Attested, Transparent, Sovereign: The Evolution of Confidential Computing - Mark Russinovich, CTO, Deputy CISO and Technical Fellow, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Over the past decade, Microsoft has helped move confidential computing from research into real-world cloud infrastructure, platforms, and services. In this keynote, Mark will trace that evolution through the expanding promises of confidential computing, from protecting individual workloads to enabling verifiable trust across entire systems. He will share examples from Microsoft’s adoption journey and discuss the next frontier: confidential sovereignty, where organizations can verify code, enforce policy, and retain control across compute, networking, and software supply chains.
