Microsoft Outage & the Risks of Big Tech Email

Most people believe GDPR means their data is safe. It doesn't, and in this episode of SekurTalks, we explain exactly why. The US CLOUD Act allows American authorities to compel any US-headquartered company to hand over data stored anywhere in the world, including inside the EU. When the company holding your data is American, US jurisdiction follows that data regardless of where the server sits. This episode breaks down what GDPR can and cannot protect, why the US big tech infrastructure dominance creates a structural privacy problem, and what Swiss data residency actually changes at the legal and architectural level. Infrastructure-level privacy versus application-level privacy. Understand the difference, and your security decisions change completely. Tune in, unwind and know where your data actually lives.SekurTalks is presented by Sekur, provider of private, secure communications built on Swiss-based infrastructure and privacy-by-design principles.Send us Fan MailTake control of your privacy today.
