The gist: Bitdefender provides EU-hosted cloud infrastructure for cybersecurity to enable European organizations with data sovereignty.
Bitdefender launches a program for sovereign EU cybersecurity and provides cloud infrastructure to support organizations in transitioning to European data hosting. The move responds to an IDC survey in which 85 percent of participants rate digital and AI sovereignty as very or extremely important.
Bitdefender is responding to growing demands from European organizations for data sovereignty and launches a new program for EU-based cybersecurity. At its core is cloud infrastructure that enables companies to operate their security infrastructure within the EU and thus keep data and processing operations under European control.
An IDC survey had previously found that 85 percent of surveyed organizations rate digital sovereignty and AI sovereignty as very or extremely important. This finding reflects regulatory and business imperatives reinforced by requirements such as the NIS2 Directive and the Digital Sovereignty Act.
The offering aims to simplify the transition for CISOs and security leaders from global cloud platforms to EU-hosted solutions. For this target audience, this reduces the risk of data exfiltration to non-EU jurisdictions and eliminates questions about compliance with European data sovereignty requirements.
