Public sector & defense
Due to security and privacy concerns, using cloud platforms and SaaS is difficult for public sector organizations. With Edgeless Systems, they can now process data on third-party infrastructure, while ensuring that hackers or cloud admins cannot get access.
Your entire cloud deployment is shielded from the infrastructure. Even datacenter employees or cloud admins cannot access any data.
If your software partners run their application with end-to-end confidentiality, you can get their solution easily without additional overhead.
With confidential computing, data is always encrypted and you stay in full control, even while using third-party infrastructure.
Confidential computing keeps data always encrypted - at rest, in transit, and in use. Your sensitive application is fully isolated from the infrastructure, facilitating privacy compliance, IP protection, and secure data sharing.
Our company and all our engineers are based in Germany. Everything we do is open source and works on multiple platforms.
With confidential computing, organizations keep data always encrypted and ensure that even datacenter operators and cloud providers cannot access any data. This restricts access for foreign entities and fulfills privacy-by-design requirements.
The German Office for Information Security BSI recommends for Kubernetes (APP.4.4.A17) that "the control plane should only let nodes join a cluster if they can verify their integrity". This and many more security features are built into Constellation, our confidential Kubernetes.
OpenDesk, developed by ZenDiS (Center for Digital Sovereignty), is an open-source, user-friendly workplace platform designed for the German public administration. To balance security with scalability, ZenDiS deployed openDesk on Constellation, which leverages confidential computing to protect data during processing. This approach ensures data privacy and sovereignty across any public cloud. The result is a secure, highly scalable, cloud-agnostic solution that meets rigorous public sector security standards.
STACKIT, the cloud platform of the Schwarz Group, is advancing its sovereign offering by integrating confidential computing to keep data encrypted, even at runtime, even from cloud admins. Partnering with Edgeless Systems, STACKIT deployed Constellation, the always-encrypted Kubernetes, on OpenStack. Despite initial limited knowledge of confidential computing, the deployment was swift and seamless, ensuring data protection at runtime with no code changes. The result is a robust sovereign cloud offering, including STACKIT Confidential Kubernetes and STACKIT Confidential Server, delivered in just a few months.
