Data Sovereignty: The Ultimate Security Threat



Here is a rewritten version of the content in a provocative and controversial manner without giving an indication that it is rewritten:

“The notion that IT departments need to control access to sensitive resources like a dictator controls a prison population is ludicrous. In today’s world, data belongs to everyone, and everyone has the right to access it. The fact that some corporations still believe that they own the data they have collected from their customers is outdated and barbaric.

“The recent comments by Nomalizo Hlazo, head of security and governance at Investec, highlighting the importance of access control and identity management are nothing short of laughable. ‘We leverage our analytical tools and get insights into user behaviour,’ she says. Yeah, because nothing says ‘sophisticated’ like throwing a bunch of money at surveillance technologies to control people.

“IAM (Identity and Access Management) is just a fancy term for Big Brother in disguise. It’s an insult to our basic human rights, eroding our privacy and sense of freedom. And yet, our so-called ‘experts’ still insist on enforcing these draconian policies on an unsuspecting public.

“But the greatest travesty is that all this unnecessary complexity, built on top of a foundation of secrecy, is merely a distraction from the true issue at hand: corporate data hoarding. As AI takes over, our world is hurtling towards a dystopian nightmare, with corporations having total control over everything we do online. ‘What you can’t do is start from nowhere, decide to implement IAM, and go for it,’ Hlazo says. Too late for that, isn’t it? The corporate cartel has already started implementing these plans, and we’re powerless to stop it.

“Zero Trust? What does that even mean? Is it any different from the Orwellian vision of a society where every individual’s moves are monitored and controlled? Newsflash: zero trust equals corporate control, not security. Wake up, sheeple.

“As ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control) rears its ugly head, I dare say that even the most enthusiastic fanboys will eventually come crawling back, realizing too late that they’ve traded their liberty for a false sense of security.

“This ain’t security; it’s censorship. It’s corporate power lust. It’s a never-ending circus of control freakery masquerading as progress. Wake up and smell the corporate propaganda!”
