Keynote: The Defender Advantage Has a Single Point of Failure - Jason Clinton, Deputy CISO, Anthropic
Wednesday June 24, 2026 9:40am - 10:00am PDT
We are 2–5 years from a world where software stops shipping security bugs, because every CI/CD pipeline runs a Mythos-class model. That is the permanent defender advantage. The whole thesis rests on a single artifact: the weights of that model. If those weights leak, the advantage inverts overnight. If access to them can't be relied upon, the world routes around us to open weights. Confidential computing is the control that protects the control.

Keynote: Privacy at the Hardware Level: Why the Stack Has to Change Before the Rules Can - Brittany Kaiser, CEO, Alpha Compute
Wednesday June 24, 2026 10:00am - 10:20am PDT
Regulation follows architecture. Until now, data privacy has been a policy question. Confidential computing makes it a hardware guarantee. Brittany Kaiser, CEO of Alpha Compute, explores how sovereign AI infrastructure, enforced at the silicon level, changes the accountability equation for enterprises and nation-states alike. She draws on Alpha Compute’s work with institutions running sensitive workloads inside sealed, verifiable enclaves, and makes the case that the agentic AI era demands a new foundation, not a patch on the old one.

Keynote Panel Discussion: Three Forces Making Confidential AI A Mandate - Monique Dumais, Encore Capital Group; Jason Clinton, Anthropic; Brittany Kaiser, Alpha Compute; Ion Stoica, Professor, Sky Computing Lab, OPAQUE; & Jason Hiner,
Wednesday June 24, 2026 11:15am - 11:45am PDT
Three forces are accelerating demand for verifiable AI trust and turning Confidential AI from a should into a must. First, Mythos-class models and their successors make it probable that a malicious actor can place itself inside your environment. The agent is the attack surface. Second, current agent architectures are data-leaky. An employee touching the data is one problem. A malicious agent is another. In regulated industries, neither is acceptable. Third, new regulations require runtime proof — what ran, where, under what rules — automated, hardware-signed, third-party-verifiable. The EU AI Act Article 12 enforcement hits August 2, 2026; sovereign-AI rules across the Gulf, EU, India, and Singapore stack behind it. This panel explores what it actually takes to govern agentic AI in high-stakes environments: the architectural requirements, the compliance obligations, and the organizational shifts that make Confidential AI not just defensible, but mandatory.

Building Trusted AI Factories with NVIDIA Accelerated Confidential Computing - Erik Bohnhorst, NVIDIA
Wednesday June 24, 2026 1:15pm - 1:40pm PDT
As AI transitions from experimentation to production, securing sensitive data, proprietary models, prompts, and agentic workflows is critical. To build trusted AI systems that scale effectively, confidential computing has emerged as a fundamental pillar, ensuring that governance, control, and privacy remain intact.
The session will cover hardware-rooted trust, workload isolation, attestation, secure runtimes, and practical implementation patterns using NVIDIA reference architectures. Attendees will come away with a clear view of how to apply confidential AI in real-world deployments, including regulated workloads, secure multi-party collaboration, and production-ready agentic systems.

Q-Day Survival Guide: What the Post-quantum Cryptography Transition Means for Confidential Computing - Arthur Savage, Red Hat
Wednesday June 24, 2026 3:00pm - 3:25pm PDT
Cryptographic algorithms will one day be broken by large quantum computers, necessitating the replacement of classical cryptography (like RSA) with post-quantum cryptography (PQC). This event, called Q-day, is a rolling deadline with previous estimates falling around 2035. However, in early 2026, many groundbreaking developments rapidly shortened Q-day estimates to 2030 or sooner, leaving little time to execute this unprecedented global cryptographic overhaul.

This talk will put Q-day in context for the audience: timelines, the recent scientific breakthroughs and how they alter threat models in open source, and which gaps and blockers are most pressing. Then, we view these blockers through the lens of confidential computing, from hardware to software. We will discuss current risks and best practices, then open the audience to discussion of the needs of diverse applications across the confidential computing ecosystem. This talk is both informative and information-gathering, fostering mutual understanding and collaboration to integrate PQC before time runs out. This talk will be technical, but no prior knowledge about PQC is necessary and we welcome participation from all.

Overview of the AWS Nitro System: Building Trust Through Secure Cloud Infrastructure - Matthew Wilson, Amazon
Wednesday June 24, 2026 4:00pm - 4:25pm PDT
The AWS Nitro System is the foundation for modern Amazon EC2 instances that enables AWS to innovate faster, reduce cost for customers, and deliver added benefits like increased security and new instance types. We've applied formal methods to the Nitro System since day one. AWS has reimagined our virtualization infrastructure. Traditionally, hypervisors protect physical hardware and BIOS, virtualize CPU, storage, and networking, and provide management capabilities. The Nitro System breaks apart those functions, offloads them to dedicated hardware and software, and reduces costs by delivering nearly all server resources to instances.

This session explores the architecture and security model of the Nitro System, demonstrating how offloading virtualization functions minimizes the hypervisor attack surface and enables features like secure boot and Nitro Enclaves. We'll introduce the Nitro Isolation Engine, where we've applied formal methods. Starting from proving correctness properties of early boot firmware and the API endpoint component of the Nitro Controller, the Nitro Isolation Engine is a minimal trusted computing base and is a default capability of AWS Graviton5 processors
