Fortanix brings confidential AI to Kubernetes with CNCF Confidential Containers support

Fortanix, a data and AI security company, has added support for CNCF Confidential Containers (CoCo) to its Fortanix Confidential AI product. Organisations can now run AI workloads on Kubernetes inside hardware-based Trusted Execution Environments, on confidential CPUs and GPUs. The system verifies each environment before it releases any encryption keys. Fortanix is building open-source CoCo plugins that link its attestation and key management tools. The company says this protects sensitive data and proprietary models from infrastructure operators. It deploys as SaaS, on-premises, or fully air-gapped. A Fortanix and Atomik Research survey found 93% of AI leaders know traditional encryption does not protect data during processing, but only half can fully verify protection during inference. NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Cisco, and Red Hat are among the partners backing the effort.

Gnani AI October 6, 2026 Ascent connects Gnani AI's production-proven Multi-modal Conversation AI - led by Voice AI - along with Agent Assist and AQM/Speech Analytics, to regional technology, infrastructure and implementation partners, helping GCC enterprises move Contact Center and CX transformation from pilot to production. DUBAI, UAE and BENGALURU, India, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Gnani AI, the frontier AI company, today announced the regional expansion of Gnani Ascent, its flagship partner program, into the Middle East - bringing its production-proven Contact Center and CX AI suite to enterprises across the GCC through a growing network of regional partners. For regulated and government clients, the same suite is available as resident deployment on their own infrastructure, with fine-tuning available for regional languages including Arabic. The regional launch builds on Gnani AI's sovereign AI stack, unveiled in New Delhi, India on 28 August 2026 by Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan, Vice-President of India, and extends it into an ecosystem purpose-built for production - with data residency, language fine-tuning and auditability built in from the ground up for regulated and government workloads in Middle East as well. Contact centers across the region face growing pressure to modernize customer experience while meeting compliance requirements that are rarely optional in banking, insurance, healthcare and government sectors. The harder problem isn't accessing AI - it's deploying it directly into the CCaaS/CPaaS platforms enterprises already run, fine-tuned to the languages their customers speak. Ascent closes that gap, pairing Gnani AI's technology with regional GTM and implementation partners. In the Middle East, Ascent hasalready onboarded Rise (a National Holding Group Company), iSteer and Gibraltar Technologies - bringing local implementation expertise and enterprise relationships to deploy Gnani AI's Conversation AI suite with Resident AI and Arabic fine-tuning. Globally, the Ascent program has brought on more than 25 partners within weeks of launch - including Hexaware, Intel, Cisco, Fortanix, Vymo, Melento and FCI. Gnani AI has already onboarded multiple banking and insurance customers in the last few months on Conversation AI led digital transformation in UAE. At its core is Gnani AI's architecture spanning Evon, Timbre, Prisma, and Warp - its family of language and speech models, fine-tunable for regional languages including Arabic - and Plexus, its agentic and conversation AI platform. Gnani AI's technology is already proven at scale: more than 200 enterprises globally, over 50 million calls handled every day across 22+ languages, in production across regulated industries including banking, insurance and government - the same foundation now extending into the Middle East through Ascent. "India has the opportunity not only to adopt AI, but to build and deploy intelligence designed for the complexity, scale and requirements of enterprises in the Middle East. No single technology layer can deliver that transformation alone. Ascent brings the ecosystem together around enterprise outcomes - from models and infrastructure to integration and implementation," said Ganesh Gopalan, Co-Founder and CEO, Gnani AI. "Enterprises across our portfolio are asking for AI that can actually run their operations, not just answer questions. Gnani AI's agentic and conversation AI capabilities, combined with Rise's go-to-market and implementation reach, let us bring that to market faster and with far greater confidence," said Omar Alomari, Head of Business Development & Innovation, Rise (A National Holding Company). "Fortanix is proud to partner with Gnani AI to redefine the architecture of trust for the enterprise," said Anuj Jaiswal, Chief Product Officer, Fortanix. "Together, we are removing the tradeoff between innovation and privacy, so enterprises can be confident that their data and intellectual property remain protected and under their control." "We've spent over a decade building the connectors that let disparate enterprise systems work together. Conversation AI is no different - it needs to plug into the same ERPs, CRMs and operational systems our customers already run. Partnering with Gnani lets us bring that same integration discipline to their state-of-the-art agentic Conversation AI, so customers get a working deployment in weeks, not months," said Umashankar Raju, Founder & CEO, iSteer. For partners, Ascent is a way to bring production-grade AI - from Conversation AI to Sovereign & Resident AI - to their clients, and engage across joint solutioning, implementation, platform integration, embedded AI or go-to-market - turning each opportunity into a shared, measurable economic value. About Gnani AI Gnani AI is the frontier AI company building purpose-built models, agentic AI infrastructure and enterprise applications designed for production at scale. Its technology powers more than 50 million calls every day across 200+ enterprises and 22+ languages, with enterprise deployments across regulated and high-volume industries in India, the US, the Middle East, Japan and the Philippines. Gnani AI is headquartered in Bengaluru, India, with a presence in California, US, and a growing partner network across the Middle East through Rise, iSteer and Gibraltar Technologies.

Deepgram partners with Fortanix and Nvidia for secure voice AI deployment in regulated industries.

Deepgram partners with Fortanix and Nvidia for secure voice AI deployment in regulated industries. The collaboration brings confidential computing to real-time voice AI, keeping audio data and model weights encrypted even during active inference. Just now ago Voice AI has a trust problem in the industries that need it most. Hospitals, banks, and government agencies have spent years watching from the sidelines as consumer-facing AI tools race ahead, held back by a simple question: who else can hear what its AI hears? Deepgram is betting it has an answer. The voice AI company announced a partnership with Fortanix and Nvidia on June 1, 2026, to enable fully encrypted, on-premises voice AI deployments designed specifically for regulated industries. The core pitch: organizations can now run voice transcription, AI-powered customer support agents, and analytics tools while keeping both the audio data and the proprietary model weights encrypted during real-time inference. How confidential computing changes the game for voice AI. To understand why this matters, think about what normally happens when an AI model processes your voice. The audio gets decrypted so the model can analyze it, which creates a window of vulnerability. It's like a bank vault that has to open its doors every time someone needs to count the money inside. Confidential computing eliminates that window. The technology, built on Nvidia's Confidential Computing-enabled GPUs and powered by Fortanix's Confidential AI platform, allows Deepgram's models to process voice data while it remains encrypted. In English: the vault stays locked, but the money still gets counted. This applies to both sides of the equation. Sensitive audio, think patient conversations or financial advisory calls, stays protected. And Deepgram's proprietary model weights, the intellectual property baked into how its AI actually works, remain shielded from the organizations hosting them on-premises. Deepgram claims this is the first implementation of confidential computing in real-time voice AI applications. If that holds up, it positions the company at the front of a very specific but potentially enormous market: enterprises that want cutting-edge voice AI but can't or won't send sensitive audio to a third-party cloud. Building on an existing on-premises push. This announcement didn't come out of nowhere. Deepgram has been building toward secure deployment options for a while, offering on-premises and Virtual Private Cloud solutions as alternatives to its cloud API. The Fortanix and Nvidia partnership extends that strategy by adding a hardware-level encryption layer that goes beyond traditional network security. Just days earlier, on May 27, 2026, Deepgram announced a separate initiative around low-latency voice agents built on Nvidia's Nemotron technology. That release focused on speed. This one focuses on security. Together, they sketch out a product roadmap aimed at making Deepgram's voice AI fast enough and safe enough for the most demanding enterprise environments. The target use cases are straightforward: private on-premises voice agents that can handle customer interactions without data leaving the building, enterprise-grade transcription services for sensitive meetings and calls, and IT service desk tools that can automate support workflows while maintaining strict data governance. For healthcare organizations bound by HIPAA, financial institutions navigating a web of compliance requirements, and government agencies with strict data sovereignty mandates, these aren't nice-to-have features. They're prerequisites. For Fortanix, this collaboration extends their Confidential AI platform into voice, an area where the security stakes are arguably higher than in text-based AI. Voice data is inherently more personal, harder to anonymize, and often subject to stricter regulatory treatment than written communications. Disclosure: This article was edited by Editorial Team.
