episode What GDPR Can't Stop and Why Switzerland Can artwork

What GDPR Can't Stop and Why Switzerland Can

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.

From IT Tool to Strategic Asset: Reframing Secure Communications

Secure communications are often treated as an IT utility: deployed quietly, noticed only when something goes wrong. In this episode of SekurTalks, we explore why that framing may be holding organizations back. Rather than focusing on tools or features, the conversation looks at how trust, confidence, and architecture quietly influence how decisions are made and information moves inside modern businesses. We examine why some organizations are rethinking where their most sensitive conversations live, how jurisdiction and design choices shape real exposure, and what it means to treat secure communications as something more than a technical control. SekurTalks is presented by Sekur, provider of private, secure communications built on Swiss-based infrastructure and privacy-by-design principles. Designed to work alongside the tools you already use, protecting the conversations that matter most. Because in cybersecurity, what you don’t see is often what matters most.

episode Why Big Tech Can’t Be Your Privacy Provider artwork

Why Big Tech Can’t Be Your Privacy Provider

Most companies assume their communications are private because they use enterprise software. But payment doesn’t change a platform’s business model. In this episode of SekurTalks, we examine why Big Tech platforms were never designed to be true privacy providers for business, and the hidden risks that creates for executives, legal teams, and IT leaders. From metadata exposure and AI-driven pattern analysis to jurisdictional and legal access concerns, this episode reframes privacy as a governance issue, not a feature setting. We also explore what privacy-by-design really means, and why some organizations are rethinking where their most sensitive conversations take place. Because in cybersecurity, what you don’t see is often what matters most.
