Summary

Dr. Alon Kaufman, CEO and Co-founder of Duality Technologies, emphasizes the importance of data collaboration, a concept he has explored throughout his career as a data scientist, to derive valuable insights by combining diverse data sources. He highlights the challenges faced in data sharing due to privacy regulations, which led to the founding of Duality Technologies. The company, co-founded with renowned experts including Rina Shainski, Prof. Shafi Goldwasser, Prof. Vinod Vaikuntanathan, and Dr. Kurt Rohloff, focuses on enabling businesses to utilize sensitive or remote datasets while preserving privacy through privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) like homomorphic encryption. Duality aims to simplify the implementation of PETs in enterprises, facilitating data collaboration while ensuring data protection and compliance with regulations. Kaufman draws parallels with the evolution of data science, suggesting that PETs will soon become a standard component of data-driven enterprises' strategies, as they work towards defining their collaboration needs and choosing appropriate technologies to achieve their business goals.
