We study sequestering, a prerequisite for flavor-blind supersymmetry breaking in several
high-scale mediation mechanisms, in compactifications of type IIB string theory. We find
that although sequestering is typically absent in unwarped backgrounds, strongly warped
compactifications do readily sequester. The AdS/CFT dual description in terms of confor-
mal sequestering plays an important role in our analysis, and we establish how sequestering
works both on the gravity side and on the gauge theory side. We pay special attention to
subtle compactification effects that can disrupt sequestering. Our result is a step toward
realizing an appealing pattern of soft terms in a KKLT compactification.
