Data now lives everywhere—on prem, multi cloud, SaaS, and edge. Mobility unlocks agility but expands attack surface and compliance obligations. This session provides a secure by design framework for moving, tiering, and protecting “any data, anywhere.” We’ll cover discovery/classification, encryption in transit/at rest, keys and secrets management, data residency/jurisdiction mapping, and policy driven access across identity domains. Evaluate mobility patterns—hub and spoke replication, cross cloud failover, 3-2-1-1-0 backups, edge caching—through a security lens and learn how to balance resilience, performance, and cost. We’ll address SaaS data protection, sovereign cloud considerations, and practical steps for consistent governance across diverse platforms common to state and local agencies.
