Zonar Systems, a smart fleet management and mobility solutions company, has chosen Google Cloud Confidential Computing to support its privacy protection and compliance efforts. The cloud platform uses AMD Encryption Virtualization to keep data encrypted, even when it is being accessed, indexed, or searched. Zonar’s move to a cloud-native environment from a legacy data center will allow the company to encrypt not only at-rest and in-transit data, but also in-use data which is typically unencrypted.
The move will help Zonar ensure compliance with privacy protection laws such as GDPR and Schrems II for European needs. Only 8% of cybersecurity and IT professionals fully understand all types of cloud services, leading to false confidence in unencrypted data protection.
