SFX meets the highest requirements for security and confidentiality of company data. The servers on which the platform is operated are located in Swisscom data centres. No one, except for the owner and the selected recipients, can access the data, and that includes Swisscom, the platform developer and the provider. Company data is encrypted end to end to ensure that it cannot be accessed at any time. This is made possible by the new confidential computing technology (Intel Software Guard Extensions, SGX for short), which ensures that data remains encrypted even during processing.
Swisscom and Intel anticipate broad demand for the business process simplification and digitisation platform within the trading and finance sector and have successfully driven strong adoption through early live piloting. The product was developed with the ethos of driving a high usability experience. Swisscom’s core mission is to deliver impactful, yet unintrusive industrial platforms for the market that facilitate digitalisation by supporting the integrity of business and industry practices.
“It is a privilege for us to innovate together with leading international technology companies such as Intel to develop this platform for secure data exchange between companies,” says Christoph Aeschlimann, CTO & CIO Swisscom.
“The need for higher levels of security and confidentiality will only increase as multi-party business processes, collaboration and transactions move online,” said Jason Grebe, Corporate Vice President of the Cloud & Enterprise Solutions Group at Intel. “Innovators like Swisscom that apply Intel SGX technology to their cloud services provide new levels of protection to data in-use, harnessing the industry’s most tested, widely-deployed hardware-based data center trusted execution environment.”
