Digital Sovereignty: Data, Cloud, & Cybersecurity in the 21st Century explores one of the most pressing issues facing governments, enterprises, and technology leaders today: how nations and organizations assert control over their digital ecosystems in an era of global interconnectivity, cloud dependence, and escalating cyber threats.
The report provides a comprehensive analysis of how major global powers – the United States, European Union, and China – are approaching digital sovereignty through regulation, infrastructure, and cybersecurity strategies. Each section breaks down the unique priorities and policy frameworks shaping these regions, highlighting both opportunities and risks for businesses and policymakers.
Key themes include:
Cybersecurity Sovereignty: How governments are managing supply chain integrity, cryptography standards, and national defense in cyberspace. Real-world examples like the SolarWinds attack illustrate the vulnerabilities and the policy responses, such as SBOM requirements and domestic cryptography mandates.
Cloud Sovereignty: Comparative insights into the U.S. (leveraging its dominance in global cloud providers), the EU (asserting regulatory control over foreign tech giants via DMA/DSA), and China (building a state-aligned, indigenous cloud ecosystem). Each approach reflects broader strategic goals of control, resilience, and economic competitiveness.
Data Governance: Analysis of how data localization, cross-border data flows, and regulatory frameworks such as GDPR, CLOUD Act, and China's Cybersecurity Law are redefining the global data economy.
Strategic Implications: The report closes with a forward-looking view of how sovereignty debates will intensify with the growth of IoT, AI, smart cities, and autonomous systems – expanding the digital "attack surface" and deepening the need for national resilience.
Supported by structured tables and visuals, this report equips readers with an executive-level understanding of the digital sovereignty landscape and its implications for cross-border business, technology procurement, and risk management.
Whether you are a policymaker, strategist, or executive, this document provides a clear framework to understand global sovereignty trends and prepare for the shifting rules of digital engagement.
