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