The U.S. CLOUD Act, along with parallel legislative efforts worldwide, raises complex questions about privacy, jurisdiction, and the sovereignty of nations in the digital era.
This event brings together legal experts, technologists, and industry leaders to explore the far-reaching implications of cross-border data access laws.
Participants will examine:

Substitute services from dominant cloud providers due to changed risks form vendor lock-in?
Current developments are triggering the reassessment of risks around usage and selection of cloud service providers. Adrian Anderegg shows how companies can conduct an objective risk dialog and, if desired, which technological alternatives can be used to reduce dependency on the most frequent cloud providers.

Trust Ends, Control Begins – The (not so) new Regulatory Reality in the Cloud
Geopolitical shifts, supply chain uncertainties, and increasing digital dependencies are redefining the risk landscape for cloud strategies.
The keynote “Trust Ends, Control Begins – The Regulatory Reality in the Cloud” examines how global tensions, regional regulations, and sovereignty concerns impact cloud adoption and governance. Rather than signalling a revolution, these changes reaffirm what has always been a best practice: good sourcing. Through strategic outsourcing, robust vendor management, effective business continuity planning, and well-prepared exit strategies, organisations can absorb shocks and maintain operational resilience. How to align sourcing decisions with geopolitical realities while ensuring compliance and sustaining business value – proving that in cloud governance, sound fundamentals remain the strongest defence.
