The topic of the roundtable is about the trade-offs involved in choosing PETs and the regulatory landscape involved in implementing the chosen PET.
Core PET trade-offs:
• The analytical objective
• Data availability and PETs
• Quality of data and PETs
Core implementation trade-offs:
• Ideal digital infrastructure trade-offs: Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability
• The regulatory landscape in context of the ideal digital infrastructure
Goal: Maximize the analytical objective subject to the different tradeoffs.

Confidential Computing Consortium
Website: https://confidentialcomputing.io/
The Confidential Computing Consortium is a community focused on projects securing data in use and accelerating the adoption of Confidential Computing through open collaboration.
The Confidential Computing Consortium (CCC) brings together hardware vendors, cloud providers, and software developers to accelerate the adoption of Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) technologies and standards.
CCC is a project community at the Linux Foundation dedicated to defining and accelerating the adoption of Confidential Computing. It embodies open governance and open collaboration that has aided the success of similarly ambitious efforts. The effort includes commitments from numerous member organizations and contributions from several open source projects.
Leveraging data is a key part to unlocking the power of PETs, as discussed through various lenses, from healthcare to investment, the audience will gain an understanding of the fundamental nature of PETs and help formulate a roadmap for data success.
For instance in healthcare, when assessing the value of your data, change your perception of data-use, viewing it as an opportunity rather than a risk. Sharing technical information about a drug is crucial, but it's equally important to communicate and promote its value. In healthcare, data feedback on a drug's performance and potential strategies to enhance its market reach can provide businesses with valuable insights beyond drug development.
