Introducing Anjuna Northstar: AI Data Fusion Clean Rooms for limitless AI-driven data value discovery

In today’s data-driven world, enterprises face an unprecedented challenge: how to unlock the immense value of their data through partnerships and collaboration while ensuring that security and privacy are never compromised. AI is revolutionizing industries, further offering new ways to analyze, predict, and innovate—but it also introduces a new range of risk vectors that traditional tools fail to protect against.

That’s why I am thrilled to announce the general availability of Anjuna Northstar, the first AI Data Fusion Clean Room, and a transformative step forward to allow enterprises to achieve limitless AI-driven data collaboration and value discovery.

Defining a New Category: AI Data Fusion Clean Rooms

At Anjuna, we recognize that the value of enterprise data lies in its potential to drive collaboration and insight. However, legacy data clean rooms were designed for very specific and narrow use cases, and therefore lack the flexibility and scalability required to meet the demands of today’s AI-driven enterprises.

This is why we’ve created Anjuna Northstar—a solution that doesn’t just improve on the clean rooms of the past, but completely redefines the category. Our vision for AI Data Fusion Clean Rooms is simple yet profound: to enable enterprises to combine diverse datasets, apply AI/ML analytics, and unlock hidden opportunities, all within a trusted execution environment so that they never have to compromise security, privacy, or compliance.

With Anjuna Northstar, enterprises can:

• Accelerate time-to-market with fast, one-click clean room deployment across any cloud provider.
• Bring your own AI models, custom code, tools, and business applications, to address any and all business use cases—no modifications required.
• Prepare datasets interactively, within a secure environment that enables the seamless use of tools familiar to data scientists.
• Ensure end-to-end security and privacy. Built on Anjuna Seaglass, our Universal Confidential Computing Platform, Northstar ensures that code and data remain protected at every stage—ingestion, processing, and analysis.

A Fusion Reaction of Business Value

Data is one of the most strategic assets an enterprise possesses, but its true value can only be unlocked when it’s securely shared and analyzed in collaboration with business partners, both within an organization and externally. Anjuna Northstar turns this vision into reality, enabling organizations to fully leverage their data assets while meeting the highest standards of security and compliance.

Anjuna Northstar essentially acts as a secure reactor for what I like to call the most valuable fusion reaction: the combination of diverse data sources through the power of AI. The results are nothing short of transformative. Enterprises can freely share and collaborate, uncover new insights, unlock entirely new revenue streams, explore growth opportunities, and achieve innovations that were previously out of reach due to the limitations of legacy solutions and privacy concerns.

For industries such as financial services, healthcare, SaaS, government, and more, this approach doesn’t just provide an edge—it’s a necessity. As we’ve seen with our early partners, the ability to conduct secure, AI-driven analytics at scale is now a key differentiator for forward-thinking organizations.

Real-World Impact with JUMO and Ascendo AI

The power of Anjuna Northstar is already making a difference in the real world. One of our design partners, JUMO, is using Northstar to securely enhance its credit risk workflows, combining proprietary data with partner transaction data while protecting intellectual property. As their CTO, Fábio Matos, put it: 

"We believe this technology, which allows us to securely merge our proprietary data and AI models with our partners' customer transaction data, while keeping both sides of the IP protected, will become the AI data handling standard in the future and so we are partnering with Anjuna to be at the forefront of that important transformation.”

Similarly, Ascendo AI is leveraging Anjuna Northstar to aggregate sensitive customer support data securely and train AI models for personalized technical support. Ascendo’s Founder and CEO, Kay Narayanan, highlights the critical role of Anjuna Northstar:

"With Anjuna Northstar, we can deliver tailored technical support and field service solutions that respect privacy requirements. The Anjuna platform, along with Ascendo AI’s Cognitive Privacy application, provides the security and flexibility needed to process sensitive information from multiple sources, driving both compliance and customer satisfaction.”

These customers showcase the versatility of Anjuna Northstar and its ability to address critical needs across diverse use cases.

The Discovery Journey Ahead

The general availability of Anjuna Northstar is a milestone for our company, but it’s also a milestone for the industry. As more organizations adopt AI Data Fusion Clean Rooms, I believe we’ll see a dramatic acceleration in the pace of innovation across sectors.

Anjuna’s mission has always been to empower organizations to innovate securely. With Anjuna Northstar, we’re delivering on that promise in a way that I believe will define the next decade of enterprise AI. We named it Northstar because, like the sailors of yore, we envision enterprises relying on this trusted beacon as they embark on their long-sought journey to uncover the hidden value within their data. 

Thank you for joining us on this journey. The future of secure data collaboration is here, and I couldn’t be more excited to see what we’ll achieve together. If you are ready to take the next step, please reach out to our team: www.anjuna.io/contact-sales
