When American tech giants pitch their cloud services as the answer to Europe's data sovereignty needs, they often use the term "sovereign platforms" to suggest they can offer the highest levels of security and compliance with European laws. However, these claims can be misleading, and trusting US-based companies with critical data might come with significant risks, particularly for public institutions, enterprises, and citizens in the EU.

Welcome to the tense stand-off called out by speaker after speaker at Gartner Symposium/Xpo 2024 in Barcelona. We had the pleasure of spending a few days attending sessions, meeting with analysts, and networking with others in Barcelona. Here are some of our take-aways.

Another day, another depressing tale of wide-open-by-design collaboration software from tech giants, that leads to easy exploitation by hackers. This time, it’s Microsoft Teams opening the door for phishing attackers to send federated Teams server messages to organizations who didn’t have sufficient paranoia to close the biggest open door ever into their internal communications.

It’s no secret that the need for secure communications is bigger than ever. Online threats are more sophisticated, and getting worse as bad actors leverage tools like generative AI. If you're not worried about how to protect your organization, then you haven’t been paying attention. From sensitive client data to proprietary information, unsecured communication is a large and attractive target.

Enterprise messaging and collaboration tools are central to how work gets done today. In many organizations, message channels and video calls are where the most sensitive business topics are discussed and proprietary data is exchanged. Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Slack are popular, IT-supported collaboration platforms for larger organizations. Smaller organizations or independent teams often use Whatsapp or Discord as stand-ins. This type of communication isn’t optional.

Working on a software project with an agile methodology means delivering constant improvements in small increments. This translates to frequent changes on the product level (what the product offers, how the user experience works) and on the technical level (how it works under the hood). Organizations typically track these changes using a ticketing system, such as Atlassian Jira, where tickets describe what needs to be implemented.

This summer, the business world was rocked by the revelation that a hacker group NullBulge had compromised Disney's Slack communications tool and made off with 1TB+ of sensitive information on variety of topics, including 44 million messages, 18,800 spreadsheets, and 13,000 PDFs specific to Disney's strategy, finances, and operations.
