Balancing Data Sovereignty with App Performance and Innovation

Businesses in the Benelux region face an increasingly complex and unpredictable data sovereignty landscape, shaped by evolving regulations
and local requirements. This often leads organisations to make safer decisions when designing applications and networks—even when these
choices may impact web performance or slow down technology adoption.

This virtual town hall will explore how organisations can navigate these challenges and avoid difficult trade-offs. We will cover:

  • What defines real sovereignty against the background of evolving rules and regulations, as well as industry and security needs
  • Common data locality needs and use cases relevant to forward-thinking security leaders
  • Strategies and lessons learned from organisations across the region on balancing innovation and sovereignty
