Sharon AI Partners with VAST Data to Bring Confidential AI Models to Regulated Industries
Event summary
- Sharon AI and VAST Data collaborate to integrate VAST DataEnclave into Sharon AI's AI Factory platform across Australia and Asia-Pacific.
- VAST DataEnclave provides hardware-isolated secure runtime and cryptographic attestation for running AI models on customer-controlled infrastructure.
- The solution allows regulated organizations to run advanced AI models onshore without exposing data or model weights.
- Sharon AI customers retain independent control over encryption keys through Bring Your Own KMS integrations.
- The collaboration aims to expand access to leading AI models for mission-critical work in regulated industries.
The big picture
This collaboration addresses a critical gap in the AI infrastructure market, where regulated industries have been unable to leverage advanced AI models due to data sovereignty concerns. By providing a solution that ensures data and model weights remain protected, Sharon AI and VAST Data are positioning themselves as key players in the sovereign AI infrastructure space. The integration of VAST DataEnclave into Sharon AI's platform could set a new standard for secure AI deployments in highly regulated environments.
