We study sequestering, a prerequisite for flavor-blind supersymmetry breakingin several high-scale mediation mechanisms, in compactifications of type IIBstring theory. We find that although sequestering is typically absent inunwarped backgrounds, strongly warped compactifications do readily sequester.The AdS/CFT dual description in terms of conformal sequestering plays animportant role in our analysis, and we establish how sequestering works both onthe gravity side and on the gauge theory side. We pay special attention tosubtle compactification effects that can disrupt sequestering. Our result is astep toward realizing an appealing pattern of soft terms in a KKLTcompactification.Comment: 30 page
