Digital Sovereignty in Wartime: Legal and Cybersecurity Considerations
summary
European dependence on non‑EU cloud, AI and satellite services becomes tactical vulnerability: Ukraine shows cyberattacks hitting critical infrastructure, ransomware forces Bulgarian institutions to pay, and an October 2025 case loses ICC prosecutor emails on Microsoft. The panel cites concrete EU tools—GDPR/DSA/AI Act/NIS2/Cyber Resilience Act, acting project building a cyber training and exercise platform, European digital identity wallet rollout, and nascent AI factories for compute—but flags gaps: no EU hyperscalers, missing secure cloud/compute for defense, fragmented implementation, weak audit/enforcement, and urgent need for simulations, certified stacks and continuous training.
