Data sovereignty was a major topic for Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudry's keynote at Zenith Live.

Cybersecurity company Zscaler is “accelerating” investment into local data centres in Europe amid an “unprecedented” push for digital sovereignty from European politicians, it revealed at its annual Zenith Live event.
