Mike Vizard talks with Matt Stern, chief security officer for Hypori, about why digital sovereignty and data sovereignty are becoming more urgent as AI, mobile work and cloud platforms expand where sensitive data can travel. Stern explains why organizations must know where data resides, which cloud and SaaS providers process it and whether technical controls can keep it within required legal boundaries. The conversation also examines CMMC, GDPR, AI auditing, shadow IT, data integrity, model trust and why enterprises should move users to data rather than move data across uncontrolled devices and locations.
