The Rise of the Sovereign Cloud

An increasing number of countries are adopting laws and regulations designed to protect the privacy of citizens by defining how data can be securely collected, stored, and used. As a result, many businesses and organizations are evaluating how to comply with the changing geo-political landscape, including the increased concern about the sovereignty of data, workloads and infrastructure in the cloud.

The rise of “digital sovereignty” is the result of governments becoming concerned about their dependence (and the dependence of national businesses) on foreign cloud infrastructure providers.

In this episode, host Steve Prentice is joined by Nelly Porter, Head of Product, Google Cloud Confidential Computing, and Todd Moore, Vice President of Encryption Products at Thales, to discuss the forces driving Digital Sovereignty, and to discuss how Data Sovereignty, Operational Sovereignty and Software Sovereignty are the key foundational elements for building security frameworks that can achieve Digital Sovereignty.
