How can organizations protect their data while staying nimble and competitive in an AI era?

Lisa Monaco, Microsoft's President of Global Affairs, explains what digital sovereignty means for businesses, governments and other organizations navigating geopolitical uncertainty, growing cyber risks and rapid technological change. She breaks down what leaders need to understand about digital sovereignty and what's easy to overlook. She also discusses the importance of having control over data, privacy, intellectual property and critical services — all while maintaining the connections and collaboration needed to respond to changing needs and evolving threats.

In this episode:

• What is digital sovereignty - and what leaders must prioritize
• Why isolation can leave organizations with less cybersecurity intelligence, not more
• Why AI security and cybersecurity need to be treated as one connected challenge
• What role digital embassies can play in an AI era
  
  

Drawing on her experience as a former US Deputy Attorney General and Homeland Security advisor, Monaco also discusses the global AI divide, digital embassies and why AI should be treated as a societal and board-level risk.
