Emma Wright (Crowell and Moring) and Navroop Mitter (ArmorText) presented a practitioner framework for designing both infrastructure sovereignty (operate when cut off) and data sovereignty (who can lawfully access what) amid geopolitical disruptions and regulatory fragmentation. They covered people/technical/legal patterns—dependency classification, kill-switch exposure, routing/namespace choices, independent local operations, and legal safeguards—anchored by a case study of Iceland’s national secure-comms deployment. Attendees left with a checklist and implementation patterns to take back to engineering and counsel.
