Cybersecurity is much more than just an antivirus program. Today it is no longer enough to not click on dubious phishing links and not to transfer money to email fraudsters. The “Prince from Nigeria” is yesterday’s news – today’sThreats to your money and data are much more sophisticated and hidden.
A central keyword here is: dependencies. They are playing an increasingly important role in determining how safe you really are in the digital space. Unless you are technologically independent, your cybersecurity strategy is not complete.
Do you also put too much on one card?
Many Germans today rely mainly on thisSolutions from large tech companies that do not come from Europe. What seems practical at first glance often harbors hidden risks: these large companies try to bind customers to them as strongly as possible. This is how they are createdDependencies on individual service providers.
Consider e.g. B. which digital services you use every day– a word processing program, a presentation, spreadsheet or data processing program, an email service, cloud storage, an operating system – and then ask yourself how many real alternatives there are for these important programs. Many of you have no alternative in today's work and private world or only have a few, usually very small, competitors who cannot do anything close to the same.
That means we put a lot on one card every day.However, what happens if something goes wrong with that one card?What happens if your provider has technical problems? What if the provider changes its business model and no longer wants to offer certain services? If a security vulnerability is discovered in its services? What if he gets caught between political fronts? Or if the country from which the provider comes comes to blows with Europe?
TheThe consequences for your cybersecurity would be fatal– with just one wrong development you could lose everything. Digital resilience looks different.
The alternative: the independent cloud on an open source basis
Overall, this means: if you only rely on a few providers for your digital solutions, you will lose your self-determination in the digital space. You are dependent - andno longer confident in your decisions and your actions. You have to hope every day that a large corporation from another continent is at your side - and does its job well.
TheThe way out is an independent IT infrastructure, which is based on open source instead of technologies from a few providers. Open source software means: no hidden dependencies, no binding to individual providers ("vendor lock-in"), no license traps - butfull transparency and complete control for the users. At the same time, you benefit from the opportunity to adapt solutions exactly to your needs.
This shows that independence from large providers ISdigital sovereignty– and digital sovereignty IS cybersecurity. Therefore, a cybersecurity strategy is not complete without digital sovereignty.Without it there is no real resilience.
