Oracle and Duality Launch Cutting-Edge AI for Secure Government Operations
In a significant advancement for government and defense technology, Oracle has collaborated with Duality Technologies to unveil a privacy-first AI solution tailored for secure data collaboration in mission-critical operations. This innovative platform is now accessible via Oracle Cloud Marketplace and is designed to run on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), offering robust security coupled with seamless interoperability across specialized government and classified cloud environments, including Oracle Cloud Isolated Regions.
The partnership is pivotal as it enables government and defense sectors to manage data securely while adhering to stringent regulatory requirements. Users can send encrypted queries across various networks and receive confidential results almost instantly. This is made possible by OCI’s state-of-the-art, high-bandwidth, low-latency architecture, which is specifically optimized for compute-heavy analytics and artificial intelligence workloads, ensuring that mission requirements are met effectively.
"Government and defense organizations are often faced with the need to drive innovation while safeguarding the utmost confidentiality in their operations," explained Dr. Alon Kaufman, CEO of Duality Technologies. "By providing our secure data collaboration platform through Oracle, we empower institutions to extract valuable intelligence and analytical insights from their data without compromising on security or privacy."
The capabilities included in this collaboration are extensive:
1. Quantum-Ready Cross-Domain Solutions: The platform allows for secure data transfer and analysis across varying security levels. Investigators can conduct sensitive inquiries while minimizing potential risks associated with current or future quantum computing threats, a significant consideration for ensuring long-lasting data integrity.
2. Homomorphic Encryption: This groundbreaking feature allows operations on encrypted data without the need for decryption. Defense and national security organizations can perform analyses across different data sets while maintaining strict confidentiality and without breaking trust boundaries that often lead to information silos.
3. Secure Multiparty Computation (MPC): Multiple agencies can analyze sensitive datasets collectively without disclosing individual data points. This shared approach enables a collaborative effort in resolving common challenges while preserving data privacy.
4. Federated Learning: The platform supports AI model training across decentralized data sources. Organizations can develop more comprehensive AI models based on varied datasets, either at the network’s edge or within separate security domains, without centralizing or exposing the underlying data itself.
5. Built-In Governance: With features that ensure strong data access control and compliance, the platform assists customers in monitoring and managing data interactions while abiding by the principles of necessity for knowledge, essential for meeting regulatory and mission parameters.
6. High-Performance Infrastructure: The architecture is poised to deliver the high bandwidth and low latency required for effective analysis of encrypted data, thereby supporting the computational needs of privacy-enhancing technologies crucial for timely mission-critical analysis.
Rand Waldron, Vice President at Oracle, emphasized the organization's commitment to supporting national security and defense agencies. "Our goal extends beyond merely offering a secure cloud solution. We strive to create a rich and trusted ecosystem of technology that empowers our customers to navigate their unique challenges effectively while executing their most critical missions. By integrating Duality's platform into Oracle Cloud Marketplace, we are enabling secure collaboration while leveraging advanced AI to transform sensitive data into actionable, strategic advantages."
This new initiative not only marks a major step forward in cloud security for government entities but also underscores the accelerating convergence of data protection and AI technologies. As organizations increasingly seek to enhance their operational efficiencies while ensuring data integrity, partnerships like that of Oracle and Duality are paving the way for increasingly sophisticated solutions in the realms of digital security and information analysis.
