These figures may look like progress — but ransomware actors are simply adapting. The 2025 State of Ransomware in Education report reveals encryption rates at a four-year low: 📉 29% of lower education attacks resulted in data encryption — the lowest recorded to date 🎓 58% in higher education — still among the highest rates across all industries surveyed Extortion-only attacks (where data isn’t encrypted but ransoms are still demanded) are on the rise. The threat is evolving. Is your defense strategy keeping up? 👉 Read the full report: https://bit.ly/4nGJDqv

Don’t feed the hand that bites you 🍽️🐍   CLOUD Act and Patriot Act win.   Promises of “EU data centers” or “EU-only clouds” don’t.   In June 2025, Microsoft France’s General Counsel Anton Carniaux admitted he cannot guarantee that data of European citizens will never be transferred to U.S. authorities.   If a request from the U.S. government, the NSA, or another agency is formally correct, the data must be handed over – even if it’s stored in the EU.   That’s not just a public-sector or privacy problem. It’s a corporate risk: • Industrial espionage and competitive intelligence exposure • Operational continuity if U.S. authorities order suspension of services used by European organizations • Contractual blind spots: vendors may even be prohibited from informing customers when government access happens   It’s time to treat digital sovereignty as a first-order priority instead of a compliance footnote.   Switching your critical communication to a Swiss-hosted solution is a great start: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eEudyXNf   Sovereignty isn’t where the server stands, it’s which judge can gag it.   #DigitalSovereignty #CLOUDAct #Resilience #EUdata #Threema

Data sovereignty meets cloud innovation ☁️🔐 For banks, the challenge is clear: they must harness the full power of cloud technology while meeting strict performance, security and regulatory standards — especially with DORA (the Digital Operational Resilience Act) coming into force. For our 2024 Integrated Report, Christophe Negrier, Senior Vice-President EMEA Central, Country Manager of Oracle France, explains how Oracle supports BNP Paribas through a hybrid solution: Exadata Cloud@Customer. This innovation helps centralize critical databases, support AI adoption, improve the experience of its clients and meet the highest standards of data protection.

Microsoft admits it 'cannot guarantee' data sovereignty. Microsoft says it "cannot guarantee" data sovereignty to customers in France – and by implication the wider European Union – should the Trump administration demand access to customer information held on its servers. The Cloud Act is a law that gives the US government authority to obtain digital data held by US-based tech corporations irrespective of whether that data is stored on servers at home or on foreign soil. It is said to compel these companies, via warrant or subpoena, to accept the request. The Cloud Act was signed into law in 2018 following challenges the FBI faced when getting data via service providers through Store Communications Act warrants, which was itself legislated before cloud computing became a viable thing. Mark Boost, CEO at Civo, claimed: "One line of testimony just confirmed that the US hyperscaler providers cannot guarantee data sovereignty in Europe." "Microsoft has openly admitted what many have long known: under laws like the CLOUD Act, US authorities can compel access to data held by American cloud providers, regardless of where that data physically resides. UK or EU servers make no difference when jurisdiction lies elsewhere and local subsidiaries or 'trusted' partnerships don't change that reality. "This is more than a technicality. It is a real-world issue that can impact national security, personal privacy and business competitiveness...." [Source in the comments section]

Microsoft: "Your data is safe in Europe." Under oath, Microsoft's legal chief for France: "No, I cannot guarantee that." The truth is Microsoft’s marketing is lying: The “sovereign cloud” is nothing but “sovereign washing”. 👉 Read our comment "Digital sovereignty - a trend in Europe, sparked by Microsoft": https://lnkd.in/ec45mqjF #DataSovereignty #CloudAct #TechPolicy
