IDC Highlights Anonos' Variant Twins as a Key Solution for Mitigating Security and Privacy Risks in AI Data Management

IDC dedicates its Spotlight report to Anonos due to the capabilities of its Variant Twins technology to mitigate data security and privacy risks in AI.
NEW YORK CITY and BERLIN – 28 November, 2023 – The International Data Corporation (IDC), a global provider of market intelligence, advisory services, and events for the information technology market, has dedicated its latest Spotlight report “Variant Twins: The Key to Safely Leveraging Data for AI” to Anonos, data privacy and security innovator, due to the capabilities of its Variant Twins technology to mitigate data security and privacy risks in AI.

Authored by Ryan O’Leary, Esq., Research Director, Privacy and Legal Technology at IDC, the report highlights a predicted increase in data volumes by over 25% in most organizations. This surge in data, essential for training AI algorithms, raises serious concerns about sensitive corporate information disclosure.

The report underlines the urgent need for a new technological approach to mitigate security and privacy risks hindering the widespread adoption of generative AI (GenAI) and similar technologies. Anonos' Variant Twins technology emerges as a critical solution to this challenge, enabling organizations to "Shift Left Privacy" by embedding technical controls into data early in the process.
The risk is untenable and organizations will not be able to seed GenAI models without appropriate safeguards. To leverage GenAI, organizations will need to shift their privacy left and embrace new controls and frameworks—frameworks that leverage performant privacy and variant twins,” says Ryan O’Leary, Esq.
Variant Twins facilitate the creation of privacy-preserved datasets, making it impossible to re-identify individuals or disclose sensitive information. This technology not only protects data but also ensures its utility at scale, addressing the two primary roadblocks to GenAI adoption – security and privacy.

Anonos' Data Embassy platform, leveraging Variant Twins, provides a robust framework to reconcile the need for high data utility with stringent data protection standards. Through performant privacy-based controls, it allows organizations to leverage data safely, complying with global privacy and security standards, and paves the way for innovative AI-driven insights and revenue opportunities.

The report concludes that integrating technologies like Anonos' Variant Twins across business operations is essential for safely harnessing the power of data in GenAI and AI applications, turning compliance roadblocks into opportunities for digital business advancement.
