Opening Keynote

Are you curious about how privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) can help enterprise data professionals? Explore the fundamentals of PETs and how they can benefit your organisation. You will learn how PETs are not a magic bullet, and they need to be combined to improve your company's data strategies. We will also compare different PETs to show you how to find the right solutions for your needs. By analysing the differences between PETs like FHE vs TEE or MPC vs FL, you'll be able to determine the best option for your organisation. We'll also examine how different combinations of PETs enable you to plan what's needed to succeed in your organization. The outcome will be an enhancement of your expertise in order to take your data strategy to new heights.

As data becomes more valuable, it's important for data scientists to leverage privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) while ensuring the integrity of their results through appropriate legal and governance frameworks, including audits. However, it's also crucial for PETs to be made more accessible to non-technical users. To make PETs work effectively, all players, from legal compliance to security teams, must come together. It's also important to focus less on technology and more on enabling value across different functions.

While the digitisation of information continues to grow, organisations must be strategic about preserving privacy. Regulations, governance, and policies are all at the forefront of standardising data collaboration practices. While they may differ by nation, industry, or even project type or scope, data-driven enterprise customers understand the importance of these standards. To stay on top of developments in the PETs landscape, it's important for data-driven enterprises to understand how it has changed, how it will evolve, and what the top priorities should be.

In this session we will present how Europe is currently focused on using privacy preserving measures in the healthcare industry to encrypt, protect and enable collaboration between hospitals and organizations using Multiparty Computation. In extension of that we will also present the future of data ownership, where each citizen is at the center of their own personal data, and has the power to controllably share it in a transparent and secure way across industries.

Panel

This panel discusses the importance of having all stakeholders on board, from legal compliance to security teams, to ensure the effective implementation of privacy-enhancing technologies. There must be an acknowledgement that technology obstacles are common in two-sided marketplaces, where one party may be more familiar with the technology involved than others, causing pilot projects to fail at early stages. In order to solve these problems, there needs to be a focus shift from technology implementation to enabling value across different functions. Learn more about the organisational hurdles for implementing PETs and how cross-functional collaboration can overcome them.

PETs offer remarkable opportunities for safely realising the full value of data, but engaging and implementing PETs in regulatory and infrastructure environments geared towards traditional methods of managing data poses a barrier. Closing the gap between modern information working practices and the tools and systems that are needed to enable PETs is critical to realising their opportunity.

Fully homomorphic encryption is an extremely valuable PET for confidential computation, but is well known for the challenging degree of computation that is required. Optalysys are not only developing the hardware that overcomes this computational challenge, but addressing the difficulty of incorporating powerful FHE technologies into valuable data workflows.

In this talk, we will be launching our Innovation Lab and presenting the current state of play for our existing accelerator technologies, the extensions and augmentations to these systems that we will be making over the year, and the opportunities that will be presented by our SDK for development and connectivity.

Synthetic data technology is becoming increasingly popular among companies. It allows them to create new products and services and refine existing ones in a safe and cost-effective way. The synthetic data landscape is constantly evolving, and it is essential for companies to build AI toolboxes they can trust.  However, there is considerable tension regarding generative AI, and regulated enterprises need to ensure that their AI toolbox can be audited, understood, and explained.

Synthetic data can play an important role in achieving an efficient toolbox. It offers a safe and cost-effective way to test and refine products and services by generating data that mirrors real-world scenarios.  With applications ranging from mitigating data-sharing risks to improving real-world data quality, synthetic data is a powerful tool for enterprises looking to stay ahead of the curve.

Data privacy is often heavily regulated and is followed by political and judicial disputes about its interpretation. Many questions are still open and subject to future developments. On the other hand, if companies want to act in a compliant way, they need to set clear rules fort he processing of data. Where are the quick wins in such decisions and where should we prepare for better solutions?

Panel

Leveraging data is a key part to unlocking the power of PETs, as discussed through various lenses, from healthcare to investment, the audience will gain an understanding of the fundamental nature of PETs and help formulate a roadmap for data success.

For instance in healthcare, when assessing the value of your data, change your perception of data-use, viewing it as an opportunity rather than a risk. Sharing technical information about a drug is crucial, but it's equally important to communicate and promote its value. In healthcare, data feedback on a drug's performance and potential strategies to enhance its market reach can provide businesses with valuable insights beyond drug development.

The topic of the roundtable is about the trade-offs involved in choosing PETs and the regulatory landscape involved in implementing the chosen PET.

Core PET trade-offs:
• The analytical objective
• Data availability and PETs
• Quality of data and PETs

Core implementation trade-offs:
• Ideal digital infrastructure trade-offs: Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability
• The regulatory landscape in context of the ideal digital infrastructure

Goal: Maximize the analytical objective subject to the different tradeoffs.
