Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) like differential privacy, homomorphic encryption, and federated learning protect data—but lack user control. Self-Sovereign Data (SSD) transforms PETs by embedding dynamic permissions, verifiable consent, and purpose enforcement directly into data.

The 23andMe data breach shows why perimeter defenses aren’t enough. Learn how self-sovereign data embeds identity-aware rules directly into the data, enabling it to govern and protect itself, even when systems fail.

As AI and cyber threats grow in parallel, traditional data protection methods are falling short. This article explores why legacy controls like role-based access control and masking can't keep pace with today’s risks and introduces self-sovereign data as a new approach, where data carries its own access rules, enabling secure, scalable, and privacy-preserving use across AI systems and distributed environments.
