Digital technology has now become a strategic issue of sovereignty, resilience, and trust.
Parliamentary hearings on the vulnerabilities of France's digital landscape send a clear message: 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭. 𝐈𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐭𝐲, 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭.
Exchanges with Mistral AI, Digital Realty, Microsoft, Google, AWS, and Cédric O highlight a reality: our digital dependencies are becoming critical.
The question is no longer simply: "Where is the data hosted?"
The real questions are now:
→ Who controls critical infrastructure?
→ Who controls AI and cloud capabilities?
→ Who guarantees the continuity of essential services?
→ How do we reduce sensitive technological dependencies?
One conclusion is unavoidable: hosting in Europe is no longer enough if the technologies and infrastructure remain under external dependency.
Cybersecurity is therefore becoming a matter of strategic governance. This involves:
● Trusted infrastructure
● Security integrated by design
● Resilient architectures
● A solid European digital ecosystem
At INCERT, we actively contribute to strengthening digital trust, cybersecurity, and the resilience of digital ecosystems.
Because beyond technology, securing the digital realm today means preserving our collective capacity to act, innovate, and make decisions sustainably.
