Data Dependencies vs Digital Sovereignties
Speaker :
Jesper Olsen, Chief Security Officer (EMEA North) at Palo Alto Networks
Decades ago, technology experts and the software industry led enterprises and governments away from a localized point-in-time install base approach toward a more globalized evergreen subscriber approach. This brought stronger capabilities in service and uptime, threat intelligence, as well as a dispersed supply chain. Was this a mistake?
Has globalisation of technology and services failed the digitalized nations?
And what could this mean for Cybersecurity, Compliance and Success?

Speaker :
James Bore, Managing Director at Bores Group, Chartered Security Professional
If we say “sovereignty,” what proof do we have - who owns it, who controls it, and which laws apply?
Do we really know what happens after our direct suppliers- and what do we miss in deeper supplier layers?
What does real due diligence look like - beyond paperwork and checklists?
