About this episode

The episode features an interview with Kim Larsen, CISO at Keepit, discussing digital sovereignty and its implications for data and resilience in cybersecurity.

What is digital sovereignty, how does it relate to data sovereignty, and to resilience? In this CISO Interview, we speak to Kim Larsen, CISO at Keepit, a service provider specialising in protecting data for SaaS applications. With a career spanning policing, government and the private sector, he has witnessed the growing influence of geopolitics on cybersecurity. And he suggests both businesses and public sector bodies need to think about not just where their data are, but how to guarantee access to their technology if the worst does happen.
