Webinar Description
What the event is about:
The event, titled “Data Sovereignty is No Longer Optional: Is Your SASE Ready?”, is a live webinar focused on the growing importance of data sovereignty in enterprise IT and security architectures. It addresses how data sovereignty has evolved from a compliance checkbox to a board-level mandate, requiring organizations to demonstrate verifiable control over where data resides, who can access it, and how it is processed. The session explores the shortcomings of conventional cloud-delivered security architectures in meeting these requirements and presents practical approaches for deploying Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) in ways that ensure data sovereignty. Attendees will learn about deployment models that keep data, control, and management planes within specific jurisdictions or infrastructures, aligning with regulatory frameworks and data residency mandates. The webinar aims to provide a practical roadmap for organizations to meet data sovereignty requirements without compromising security or operational simplicity.
Subject Matter:
Main topics include data sovereignty, SASE architectures, regulatory compliance, deployment models (self-hosted, air-gapped, regionally constrained), data residency, and operational considerations for sovereignty at scale. Technologies discussed include SASE, SD-WAN, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and related security and networking solutions.
