Data running "after" Red OpenShift in a Hybrid world, being secure and save

In this session we will discuss how we can utilize the flexibility provided by RedHat OpenShift being able to deploy solutions where most suitable and still make sure that the data this solution either produce or need are governed and handled correctly. Governing data is becoming increasingly more important, both because authorities requires this through legislation (like NIS2) or through the certications paradigms that many of our customer wants/must adhere to (like ISO and NIST). And the handling of data in hybrid setups has become even more important in the light of GenAI, not that this was not important before.
