Following a seven-month investigation, the European Commission has reached a preliminary decision that Amazon’s and Microsoft’s cloud platforms — AWS and Azure, respectively — should be classified as “gatekeepers” under the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), Reuters reports. The DMA, also known as the Digital Markets Regulation, aims to limit the market power of dominant players. For cloud services, this would entail, among other things, requirements for increased interoperability and data portability, as well as restrictions on how these services might favor their own products and services. The Commission pointed, among other things, to AWS and Azure’s large market shares, extensive investments, large customer bases, and high costs for customers who wish to switch providers. If the decision is approved, the companies would be subject to the same type of regulations that apply to several of the largest technology platforms. Both Amazon and Microsoft were critical of the assessment. Amaz

For a decade, confidential computing has been chipping away at one of security’s hardest problems: data is well encrypted in transit and at rest, but when a processor works on it, that data sits in memory in the clear, exposed to anyone with privileged host access. “Confidential computing’s aim was to solve this with a trusted execution environment, a subset of the CPU that runs the encrypted workload and handles things like memory encryption,” said Marina Moore, lead security researcher at Edera. For years the field felt like post-quantum cryptography PhD research scientist types agreeing the work is essential, while waiting for it to reach mainstream practitioners. At the Confidential Computing Summit in San Francisco this week, the breakout use case came into focus: agentic AI. Like the web before HTTPS “I was in the really early days of HTTP, and then HTTPS came along pretty quickly,” said Mike Bursell, executive director of the Confidential Computing Consortium. He sees agentic AI
