Technical Community Architect, Confidential Computing Consortium, Linux Foundation
Sal’s work is centered on advancing secure computing practices and pioneering privacy-enhancing technologies to safeguard sensitive data. At the Confidential Computing Consortium (CCC) within the Linux Foundation, they play a pivotal role in the development and implementation of Open Source projects that establish Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). These environments are designed to provide secure areas within hardware that protect data in use, addressing critical security challenges across various industries. My contributions are particularly significant in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and emerging fields like computational justice, where data confidentiality and integrity are paramount. In my previous roles, they’ve led initiatives to build and nurture ISO 27001 compliant cultures within organizations. This includes establishing robust security-first standards that are integrated into all engineering practices, ensuring that security considerations are embedded from the ground up.
