QuantGold Enables AI to Compute on Sensitive Data without Exposure – Backed by 120+ Encryption Patents and Already Deployed in 100+ Institutions
Targeting an approximate US$400 Billion Market, QuantGold Offers Encrypted, Pay-Per-Use AI Compute to Unlock the Sovereign Data Economy for Governments and Enterprises
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) (“VCI Global” or the “Company”), a diversified global holding company, today announced the official launch of the QuantGold Data Platform (“QuantGold”), a sovereign-grade AI infrastructure designed to enable computation on sensitive datasets without compromising data ownership or privacy. The launch represents a major step forward in building secure, compliant AI systems capable of unlocking value from previously inaccessible data.
VCI Global will own a 20% equity stake in QuantGold and integrate its cybersecurity, AI GPU, and data infrastructure businesses into the platform, creating one of Southeast Asia’s most comprehensive encrypted AI ecosystems.
Despite major advances in AI, nearly 90% of institutional data remains out of reach due to privacy, regulatory, and infrastructure constraints. Critical sectors like healthcare, finance, and government hold sensitive data that AI systems cannot access without risk exposure or non-compliance.
“Most institutional data is locked away, yet it holds the key to the next phase of AI,” said Dato’ Victor Hoo, Group Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VCI Global, who has also been appointed CEO of QuantGold. “QuantGold bridges that gap, enabling AI to compute on sensitive data without exposing it, and unlocking what could be hundreds of billions in unrealized value.”
The Solution: Compute on Encrypted Data Without Exposure
QuantGold introduces a secure, zero-trust infrastructure that allows AI models to perform encrypted computations without ever accessing raw data. Hardware-based encryption and blockchain audit trails form the foundation of its compliance-focused architecture.
Key features include:
- Encrypted data vaults powered by proprietary chips and EAL4-certified hardware
- GPU-backed compute clusters for secure model inference
- Blockchain-verified query logs for traceability and regulatory audit
- Zero-trust enclave architecture; raw data never leaves institutional control
QuantGold is supported by more than 120 encryption patents, with core components already deployed across over 100 organizations in sectors such as finance, telecommunications, and aviation.
A New Model for Data Monetization
QuantGold operates on a pay-per-compute model, enabling data owners, such as corporations, universities, and public institutions, to monetize sensitive data without relinquishing custody or control.
Proof-of-concept deployments are currently underway with enterprise and institutional partners. The platform also offers a range of modular capabilities, including:
- Analytics-as-a-Service for real-time insights
- GPU-as-a-Service and Encrypted Model Execution, both on-prem and cloud-based
- A secure data onboarding portal for controlled publishing and licensing
