What's New at Rhino? May 2025

What’s New?

• We’re excited to announce that Rhino has closed an oversubscribed $15M Series A round. We're grateful to our investors, partners, and team for helping us reach this milestone as we're just getting started on our mission to connect siloed data through Federated Computing. Read more from our CEO, Dr. Ittai Dayan, and check out our careers page - we’re hiring!
  ‍
• The FAITE Consortium - whose founding members include AbbVie, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, and UCB - recently selected Rhino as their technology partner. The Consortium is collaborating to develop predictive models for biologics' properties using federated and active learning, enhancing model accuracy while preserving data privacy.
  ‍
• Dr. Dayan recently spoke at Columbia University’s Federated Learning Workshop, joining representatives from Johnson & Johnson and NVIDIA to discuss innovative applications of federated learning in healthcare and life sciences.
  ‍
• Look out for Dr. Dayan and Elke Nelson-Nichols, our VP of Life Sciences, at next month’s Fraunhofer SCAI Industry Symposium on AI in Life Sciences, where Dr. Dayan will speak on a panel about the work Rhino is doing to accelerate all aspects of the biopharma value chain with Federated Computing.
  ‍
• Our AI Program Lead, Daniel Feller, published a blog post on how Rhino’s data harmonization software helps payers meet CMS’s HL7 FHIR mandate for payer-to-payer APIs by transforming internal claims and EHR data into the FHIR standard.

Rhino Federated Computing Platform (Rhino FCP) Updates

• Confidential Computing Support: Rhino FCP now supports Confidential VMs across GCP, AWS, and Azure, enabling workloads to run inside Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) for enhanced protection during processing—complementing existing at-rest and in-transit security.
  
  
• Enterprise Secrets Manager Integration: Rhino FCP can now integrate with AWS Secrets Manager, allowing secrets to be securely injected into encrypted containers at runtime without manual key handling.
  
  
• Support for NVIDIA FLARE 2.6: Rhino FCP now supports NVFlare 2.6 for federated training workloads, enabling seamless execution of the latest version within weeks of release.
  
  
• Unlisted Workgroups and Approved Collaborators: Workgroups can now choose to be "unlisted," allowing only specified collaborators to view and invite them to projects for enhanced privacy and control.
  
  
• Limiting Image Repository Access: New access controls allow workgroups to restrict which users can push container images to their secure image repository within Rhino FCP.
