CEST Vision

Based on the current state of affairs, and observed trends in regulations, technologies and geopolitics, the CEST Consortium agreed on the vision of building a Confidential Software Security Assurance environment meeting the following challenges: Intellectual property – Regulators should consider the software suppliers’ and vendors’ intellectual property (IP) concerns and formulate their regulations with considerations on protecting this valuable IP asset. Confidentiality – Regulated increased software exposure increases vulnerability risks since proprietary software may contain unknown vulnerabilities that powerful adversaries may discover and exploit as zero- day attacks.
