Defining data sovereignty can be challenging as there is no universally agreed-upon definition. Different countries and regions have varying data protection laws, requirements, and standards, which can dictate how data should be handled, stored, and accessed. In this executive round table, we bring together executives to discuss:

• Common data locality needs and use cases relevant to forward-thinking security leaders
• Strategies and lessons learned from organisations across the EMEA region on balancing innovation and sovereignty
• Approaches to maintaining control over data locality - especially in emerging areas like AI - without compromising performance or security
