Reduce the attack surface around your data

Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX), available on Intel® Xeon® processors, protects sensitive data in use by isolating critical code and data within secure enclaves in the CPU. Fine-grained control over each enclave helps reduce the attack surface and strengthen data protection across modern data center environments.

Creates the smallest trust boundary

Intel SGX offers the smallest trust boundary in the data center. Only code running inside the secure enclave can access sensitive data, while all other software and administrators are blocked.
Protect data everywhere it may be exposed

Intel SGX is designed to protect data in use with isolation, encryption, and attestation capabilities to help guard against threats while also allowing users to maintain control of and use of their data.
Strengthen trust and boost confidence

Through remote attestation, Intel SGX allows users to verify that an enclave is truly an Intel SGX enclave – and that it’s using the latest security updates and information – before any data is shared.
