To select the right Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) for confidential computing, evaluate your workload's security requirements against infrastructure-level threats and apply state-of-the-art TEE selection guidelines to ensure secure computation.

Remote attestation is a confidential computing mechanism that cryptographically verifies the integrity of a Trusted Execution Environment before processing data, protecting workloads from underlying infrastructure attacks by ensuring computation occurs in a secure enclave.

Implement cryptographic Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) for secure computation on encrypted data by applying state-of-the-art confidential computing practices that allow processing without exposing plaintext to the underlying infrastructure.

Yes, confidential computing helps with OWASP Top 10 and CIS Benchmarks compliance by ensuring workloads and data are protected from infrastructure attacks, satisfying strict security and compliance standards for sensitive systems.

You need confidential computing when designing systems that process sensitive data and require protection against infrastructure-level threats, utilizing Trusted Execution Environments, remote attestation, and cryptographic PETs for secure computation.

While TEEs protect workloads from infrastructure attacks, limitations include dependency on hardware-specific Trusted Execution Environments and the need to implement remote attestation to ensure the underlying infrastructure has not been compromised.
