Governing Data, Identity, and AI Across Borders

As global AI, sovereignty, and identity regulations shift, CIOs face immense compliance pressure. AI adoption also accelerates agentic identities, increasing cross-border complexity. Global CIOs are tasked with creating operational trust with adaptable policies and audit-ready controls to support defensibility in a fragmented regulatory landscape. Join this session to explore: * Governing AI and identities consistently across regions * Establishing audit-ready visibility for non-human identities * Strengthening trust through unified cross-border governance
