BeeKeeperAI has announced its collaboration with Government Acquisitions (GAI). As a provider of end-to-end IT solutions to the federal government, GAI will add BeeKeeperAI’s EscrowAI capabilities for data privacy, security and AI collaboration to GAI’s flagship platform solution, EdgeShield, that represents an advancement in sensor data and algorithm security and integrity for the U.S. federal government.
To address the expansion of intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) devices along with the proliferation of 5G, GAI will incorporate BeeKeeperAI’s EscrowAI collaboration solution into EdgeShield, which provides end-to-end protection for data collected from sensors and other edge devices through to data aggregation, computing and reporting. GAI will utilise EscrowAI to advance its capabilities to protect the models and the data in transit, at rest and during compute. Not only will EscrowAI be key to maintaining data and algorithm privacy during the computing cycle, but it will also produce an immutable record of interactions with both data and algorithms to meet the latest government requirements.
GAI’s EdgeShield platform, which is an integration of five leading platforms – now including BeeKeeperAI’s EscrowAI – is designed to improve data security and integrity, time to insights and data analytics efficiency for better decision-making. This platform is designed to enable faster reactions, secure data-sharing and proactive protections through AI-assisted insights – relevant across a broad scope ranging from high-level to tactical decision-making support.
BeeKeeperAI is a pioneer in privacy-enhancing, AI collaboration technologies to secure and accelerate the development and deployment of AI in regulated data industries. The company’s EscrowAI collaboration solution protects intellectual property (IP) and data privacy, integrating and automating the use of Trusted Execution Environments with confidential computing within a secure data environment, and delivering encrypted security during the computing cycle and full isolation of the computing resource. EscrowAI’s application layer provides encrypted protection for the data and algorithm to support inference, training, validation and deployment, including in warfare scenarios.
“BeeKeeperAI’s EscrowAI solution is a unique application providing a scalable, automated workflow that enables encrypted computing for the most advanced protection of data and algorithms,” said Jay Lambke, the president at GAI. “When developing the EdgeShield solution we recognised that BeeKeeperAI’s solution was an integral part we needed to incorporate. As GAI stays on the leading edge of AI and intelligent IoT devices, we use state-of-the-art privacy and security technologies, so we’re excited to expand our solution portfolio with the addition of BeeKeeperAI’s solution for algorithm development and model training on data.”
Michael Blum, MD, the co-founder and chief executive officer at BeeKeeperAI, said, “We are pleased that our privacy-enhancing data and AI collaboration platform, EscrowAI, was selected by GAI for inclusion in their multi-faceted EdgeShield platform. Within the application, the workflow steps are monitored in an automated fashion, and an immutable record is produced of each action taken within the data processing and computing workflow, which is critical as it provides the necessary evidence chain to verify the absence of tampering with data and/or an algorithm.”
BeeKeeperAI’s privacy-enhancing technology platform use Intel’s confidential computing and Software Guard Extensions (SGX) to create a zero-trust environment that protects data. GAI also has a long track record of using Intel’s innovations to advance solutions for the government.
