As artificial intelligence reshapes cybersecurity, organizations are being forced to rethink data sovereignty, trust, and resilience. In this episode, we sit down with Adam Gale, Field CTO for Cybersecurity and AI at NetApp, to explore how AI, security, and geopolitics are colliding in today’s digital infrastructure. This conversation goes beyond theory to discuss real-world challenges and decisions organizations are facing right now. \In this episode, we cover: • How AI is being used in modern cybersecurity • Why “human in the loop” still matters for critical decisions • What data sovereignty really means—and why it’s not one-size-fits-all • The role of encryption and key ownership in protecting data • Real-world examples of dark sites, resilience, and infrastructure disruptions • Why trust and transparency are essential in security platforms With AI accelerating and regulations evolving worldwide, data sovereignty is no longer just a compliance issue—it’s becoming a strategic and board-level concern.
