In the ongoing debate about AI use in the enterprise and protecting intellectual property, a third option is emerging to address the concerns of both companies and AI labs. The issue lies in the fact that companies want to use proprietary models without risking data leakage, while AI labs are hesitant to allow external usage of their model weights for fear of losing their competitive edge.
Vast Data co-founder Jeff Denworth has developed a solution called DataEnclave, which aims to provide a secure environment for deploying proprietary models without the risk of data transfer. DataEnclave utilizes Nvidia's Confidential Computing technology to create a secure computing environment, allowing AI labs and enterprise-scale companies to collaborate without compromising their data or models.
Denworth explains that the timing for Vast Data to introduce DataEnclave is driven by the growing demand for AI products in 2026, fueled by the popularity of agentic coding tools. As performance and usage in AI increased, new challenges arose, necessitating a solution to the trust problem between companies and AI labs. With early access and general availability on the horizon, the market will determine whether DataEnclave has adequately addressed the concerns associated with the proprietary AI-proprietary data equation.
