In an increasingly interconnected world, the digital sovereignty of critical infrastructure (KRITIS) is far more than a technical requirement—it is a security-policy necessity. While technological resilience forms the foundation, regulatory frameworks—ranging from NIS-2 to specific national requirements—are becoming increasingly critical for operational implementation. In this presentation, Stephan Hohmann (Government Strategist, Cisco) and Sven Jacobs (EMEA Sales Legal Data Strategy Lead, Cisco) examine how companies and public authorities can successfully navigate the balance between technological innovation and regulatory compliance. Together, they will dive deep into current legal requirements and demonstrate how a sovereign IT architecture not only meets statutory obligations but also serves as a strategic competitive advantage. Learn how Cisco paves the way for a secure and sovereign digital future through the synergy of technical expertise and legal precision.
