As artificial intelligence reshapes cybersecurity, organizations are being forced to rethink data sovereignty, trust, and resilience. In this episode, we sit down with Adam Gale, Field CTO for Cybersecurity and AI at NetApp, to explore how AI, security, and geopolitics are colliding in today’s digital infrastructure.
This conversation goes beyond theory to discuss real-world challenges and decisions organizations are facing right now.
\In this episode, we cover:
• How AI is being used in modern cybersecurity
• Why “human in the loop” still matters for critical decisions
• What data sovereignty really means—and why it’s not one-size-fits-all
• The role of encryption and key ownership in protecting data
• Real-world examples of dark sites, resilience, and infrastructure disruptions
• Why trust and transparency are essential in security platforms
With AI accelerating and regulations evolving worldwide, data sovereignty is no longer just a compliance issue—it’s becoming a strategic and board-level concern.

We’re diving deep into AI at scale with NetApp experts Bobby Oomen and David Arnette. From NVIDIA SuperPod (think AI factories powering massive LLM training) to FlexPod solutions that bring inference into everyday enterprise workloads, we unpack what’s happening at the cutting edge of AI infrastructure.
You’ll hear how NetApp and NVIDIA are collaborating to solve one of AI’s biggest challenges—data management—with tools like SnapMirror, FlexCache, and FlexClone. We also explore why inference is becoming just as important (if not more) than training, and what that shift means for enterprises looking to integrate AI into their operations.
Whether you’re curious about NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) offerings, KV cache innovations, or how Cisco and NetApp are pushing FlexPod into the AI era, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
Tune in to learn how enterprises can scale AI securely, efficiently, and flexibly—with NetApp at the core.
