Protopia AI, a leader in privacy-preserving AI, has announced a strategic partnership with Lambda, the AI Developer Cloud and a leader in high-performance AI infrastructure. Together, they have developed the first and only solution that ensures sensitive data remains secure throughout the entire AI inference lifecycle. This breakthrough solution, Roundtrip Protection, guarantees that plaintext data is never exposed, allowing enterprises to retain full ownership of their prompts and responses, even when using managed inference endpoints in multi-tenant environments.
Features of the Solution:
- End-to-End Data Privacy:
- Roundtrip Protection ensures that sensitive data remains invisible outside of the client’s trusted environment, from prompt input to LLM output.
- Enterprises can leverage Lambda’s AI infrastructure while maintaining data confidentiality using Protopia’s proprietary Stained Glass Transform technology.
- Optimized for Performance and Cost Efficiency:
- Lambda’s AI inference platform is known for its performance and cost efficiency, offering enterprises the best of both privacy and scalability.
- The combined solution allows enterprises to use LLMs without exposing sensitive data to risk.
- Retaining Full Data Ownership:
- With this solution, enterprises can preserve their sensitive data and have full control over both their prompts and responses, making it easier for them to scale AI workloads securely.
Addressing Security Risks in AI Inference:
- The Security Gap in LLMs:
- LLMs cannot run on encrypted data, creating a security gap during inference when data must be decrypted. Even with encryption protocols, sensitive data can be exposed on compute infrastructure in plaintext once it reaches an inference endpoint.
- Roundtrip Protection eliminates this gap, preventing any exposure of sensitive data.
- Mitigating Enterprise Risks:
- Protopia AI ensures that enterprises are protected against risks such as misconfigured containers or weak user passwords, which could otherwise expose private data.
Partnership Impact:
- Eiman Ebrahimi, Co-founder and CEO of Protopia AI, emphasized the importance of combining privacy, performance, and scalability to allow enterprises to accelerate their AI deployment securely, without compromising data confidentiality.
- Maxx Garrison, Director of Product Management at Lambda, highlighted that the collaboration enables enterprises, especially those in regulated industries, to operationalize advanced AI models securely while scaling LLM inference workloads efficiently.
The Protopia AI and Lambda partnership offers a groundbreaking solution for enterprises that wish to harness the power of AI models while maintaining complete control over their sensitive data. With Roundtrip Protection and Lambda’s high-performance platform, organizations can now achieve optimal privacy, performance, and cost efficiency, unlocking the potential of LLMs without compromising on data security.
