Title: Secure Multiparty Machine Learning with Azure Confidential Computing

Speaker: Stefano Tempesta, Microsoft RD (Regional Director) and MVP, Avanade, UK 

Date and Time: Tue, Dec 17, 2019 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM CET

Preserving privacy when processing data from multiple sources with machine learning is always a challenge. Organisations may want to perform collaborative data analytics while guaranteeing the privacy of their individual datasets. Combining multiple data sources to support a better algorithmic outcome improves accuracy of prediction, but it may come at a cost to confidentiality, if sensitive information is not accurately protected. 

Azure Confidential Computing adds new data security capabilities to the cloud and specifically to machine learning processing. By using trusted execution environments (TEEs) to protect your data while in use, with confidential computing, you can use machine learning algorithms across different organisations to better train models, without revealing the processed data. 

In this webinar, Stefano Tempesta, Microsoft Regional Director and MVP on AI and Business Applications, will present the benefits of Azure Confidential Computing in an ML scenario, where two separate health institutes collaborate on data analysis and prediction using Azure Machine Learning, and still mask any sensitive information to protect the privacy of their patients.
