A new collaboration brings a real-world hospital environment into NIST\u2019s Privacy Engineering Program for the first time with support from Samsung SDS and Knexus.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The agreement marks a step forward in making advanced data privacy tools practical and accessible for health systems, researchers, and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samsung SDS and Knexus are co-participants in the initiative. As a major global technology services and cloud provider, Samsung SDS brings the commercialization and computational efficiency of Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) expertise, specifically targeting enterprise and healthcare environments where data must remain encrypted during both storage and analysis. Knexus brings highly specialized research and development capacity that helps move data science from theory to practical execution. They are widely recognized for their deep technical leadership in Differential Privacy (DP) and Synthetic Data Generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why It Matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Health care data is among the most sensitive and most valuable information in the world. As health systems increasingly rely on AI and data-sharing to improve patient care, the need for robust, standardized privacy safeguards has never been greater. Yet PETs remain difficult to implement in real-world clinical environments, particularly for organizations without deep technical resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collaboration directly addresses that gap. By embedding NIST\u2019s Privacy Engineering Program within PHC Ventures\u2019 infrastructure, the partnership will produce open-source tools and benchmarking standards designed for the realities of health care and not just the lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHealth care is a high-impact domain where global collaboration is essential. This partnership will lead to new tools and advance our understanding of how best to apply PETs in health care and genomics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
