For tribal governments, the new administration ushers in an uncertain, unstable political environment that stands to encroach on tribal sovereignty. Concerns center around the revocation of the federal Indian trust, unwarranted investigations into Indian affairs, heightened immigration enforcement, and more. Data collected from Indian Gaming and other tribal enterprises remains one of Indian Country's most valuable assets. This panel will discuss the pitfalls of using third-party cloud-based providers, how tribal governments can protect their data from external intrusion, and explain the importance of maintaining your data property right to know whether you are being investigated.
