## Summary

Elliot Lewis, CEO of Keyavi, explains his company's 'self-protecting data' technology, which embeds security policies and encryption directly into data files to control access regardless of location or device. Dan Breznitz, a professor at the University of Toronto, discusses the challenges of bringing manufacturing back to the U.S., citing the loss of supply chains, skilled labor, and financial incentives that favor offshoring. The episode highlights the fragility of global supply chains exposed by the pandemic and the trade war with China.
