## Summary

Anthropic announced a new security feature called Enterprise Frontier Safeguards (EFS) that lets customers keep data on their own cloud infrastructure instead of Anthropic’s servers. The feature was developed with more than 100 companies in finance, healthcare and manufacturing and will be available on Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.

EFS addresses privacy concerns that have slowed the adoption of generative AI in nursing and medical settings. By keeping data on customer‑managed clouds, Anthropic employees cannot access it, and the monitoring system can still detect misuse. The company says EFS may enable safer AI‑assisted record‑keeping, information sharing, user support and administrative automation in healthcare.

The announcement comes as the industry seeks ways to balance advanced AI capabilities with strict data‑protection regulations, and could broaden the use of generative AI in regulated sectors. It also signals a trend toward more customer‑controlled data handling in AI services, which may influence how other providers design future safeguards.

## Key points

- Anthropic introduces Enterprise Frontier Safeguards (EFS) to let customers store data on their own cloud.
- EFS will be available on AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
- Over 100 companies across finance, healthcare, and manufacturing helped develop EFS.

## Why it matters
