Navigating sovereignty in the era of cloud computing

As cloud computing becomes increasingly integral to how organisations store, process and derive value from data, the issue of digital sovereignty is more salient than ever.

With an evolving geopolitical landscape, a renewed focus on frameworks for trusted international data transfers, concerns about the resilience of supply chains for digital technology, and the 2024 designation of cloud as critical national infrastructure, organisations face complex choices about where and how their data is stored and processed.

This event will bring together thought leaders from across the industry to explore how we can best reinforce trust in cloud services and what sovereignty looks like in the era of cloud computing.

The panel will consider:

• Defining digital sovereignty in the context of cloud computing

• How the scope of digital sovereignty varies with use-cases

• Technical solutions to security and data privacy

• The current regulatory landscape and possible futures

• Examples of how businesses and public sector are navigating these challenges

Speakers include:

• Chris Folkerd - Director of Core  Infrastructure at ANS

• Tony Gallacher - Director - Secure Cloud, AI & Networks at Rackspace Technology

• Dan Hilton - CTO at Nine23 

• Paula Lender-Swain, Director of Public Sector Sales, HPE

Further details and a list of speakers will be announced in due course.
