![IMG_2345](https://fedgovtoday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_2345-1.jpg?width=400&height=300&name=IMG_2345-1.jpg)Patrick Conte, VP GM Americas at Fortanix, introduces confidential computing as a game-changer in healthcare cybersecurity, aligning with the principles of Zero Trust architecture. Conte emphasizes the importance of protecting data in use, a critical aspect often overlooked in traditional security models. By securing data across its lifecycle — at rest, in transit, and in use — Fortanix aims to safeguard healthcare data against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, ensuring the privacy and security of patient information.

**Key Takeaways:**

- Confidential computing emerges as a key component of Zero Trust security, protecting data in use and addressing a gap in traditional cybersecurity defenses.
- Fortanix's approach to healthcare cybersecurity underscores the critical need to safeguard patient data across all stages of its lifecycle.
- The adoption of confidential computing technologies is essential for healthcare organizations striving to enhance their cybersecurity posture in the face of evolving threats.
