Enveil Founder and CEO Ellison Anne Williams on How the Data Security Company Innovates
WATCH NOW this technology was at the foundation of the company was a big draw for me – I wanted to figure it out . Having seen what it can do , I ’ m confident that HE is going to be everywhere in 20 years . I often compare it to working with databases in the 80s : people had just started to use them , but now they ’ re central to most business processes . I really believe this kind of cryptography is going to have a similar impact .
Q . WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR HIGHLIGHT IN YOUR CURRENT ROLE ?
» I ’ m really proud of the work I ’ m doing today . I like being at the forefront of a new category and working with technologies that only a handful of teams in the world are leveraging for commercial applications . It has also been a privilege to help build something from the ground up . The progression we ’ ve seen in terms of both the technology and the broader market over the past six years has been incredible to witness .
Q . WHAT EXCITING PLANS DO YOU HAVE COMING UP AS AN ORGANISATION ?
» We ’ ve recently been focused on an encrypted training capability for our ZeroReveal Machine Learning product , the first version of which was released in June . This capability allows our customers to train machine learning models over datasets that reside in environments they wouldn ’ t normally trust to see the model , and allows data owners to let external parties train over their data without exposing the underlying data . This delivers an unmatched ability to derive insights from data without the need to trust other parties during computation . It ’ s a capability our customers have been asking for so I ’ m excited to see the ways it will add business value for ML and data science use cases . technologymagazine . com 23
