Point of View

How we think about AI and enterprise security.

AI Sovereignty Architecture is the operating discipline. These articles lay out the thinking behind it — why it matters, what it requires, and what the enterprises deploying AI fastest are getting right.

The Air-Gapped Root of Trust in an AI Pipeline

The Air-Gapped Root of Trust in an AI Pipeline

Provenance is only as trustworthy as the root it terminates in. An air-gapped, sovereign root of trust is what turns an AI output into something anyone can verify — without trusting the provider that produced it.

Zero Trust for Non-Human Identities: Attesting AI Workloads

Zero Trust for Non-Human Identities: Attesting AI Workloads

Enterprises spent a decade perfecting human identity while non-human identities exploded and were left on static secrets. AI workloads are the sharpest edge of that problem — and attestation, not a shared key, is how zero trust reaches the thing doing the work.

From Network Segmentation to AI Workload Isolation

From Network Segmentation to AI Workload Isolation

AI workload isolation is not a new discipline to learn. It is segmentation — the most mature containment practice in enterprise security — extended from controlling what a workload can reach to controlling what it can do and proving what it is.

Securing AI Workloads in SASE Environments

Securing AI Workloads in SASE Environments

SASE solved secure access from anywhere for the workforce. AI changes what is doing the accessing and what is being accessed — and the same identity-and-posture model, extended, is how a sovereign AI plane keeps its guarantees off-premises.

Real-Time Workload Enforcement with ISE and eBPF

Real-Time Workload Enforcement with ISE and eBPF

Cisco ISE governs what reaches your network. eBPF governs what executes on your hosts. Unified under one attestation decision, they form a single real-time enforcement fabric — the controlled-execution property of AI Sovereignty Architecture, made concrete.

Sovereignty Is an Architecture, Not a Feature

Sovereignty Is an Architecture, Not a Feature

Sovereign AI is becoming a marketing checkbox that usually means little more than data residency. Real sovereignty is an architectural property: own the compute, prove the output, control the execution — without trusting a third party for any of the three.

The Case You Have to Make Against a Vendor

The Case You Have to Make Against a Vendor

Anyone can make the case for a product. The harder, more valuable skill — the one that actually protects a regulated business — is the ability to make the case against one, on architectural grounds, and be right.

Zero Trust Is a Decision, Not a Product

Zero Trust Is a Decision, Not a Product

Zero Trust has been sold as a product so many times the phrase has nearly lost meaning. But underneath the marketing is a discipline about how a single decision gets made — and a refusal to collapse three separate questions into one.
