Betting on European suppliers instead of on the hyperscalers
This episode is centered around the recent news that the Swedish eSam collaboration program, which comprises representatives from government authorities, municipalities and other public administrations, have tested and evaluated a number of different office suites that comply with the public sector’s security, regulatory and functionality requirements. The project is a direct result of announcements earlier this year by the Swedish Enforcement Authority and Swedish Tax Agency that they are planning to actively consider alternatives to Microsoft Teams as a collaboration platform due to privacy concerns. This ongoing trend of betting on European suppliers instead of the American and Chinese hyperscalers is a very interesting situation that seems to be on the verge of happening all across Europe. We also talk about the lack of European suppliers of core digital services, EDPB and data transfers. https://citynetwork.eu/podcast https://compliantoffice.eu --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-infosec-stack/message
