About this course

Your country may feel sovereign. But is it? Most governments rely on foreign-owned infrastructure for their most critical systems - communications, citizen data, national security. The question isn't whether your country has a digital strategy. It's whether you actually control what runs underneath it.

This opening webinar launches a practitioner programme for cyber authorities, regulators, and senior public sector executives who need to move from understanding digital sovereignty to actually implementing it.

What you will gain:

  • A clear picture of where your country actually stands - not where its strategy says it stands
  • Identification of your most critical hidden dependencies: infrastructure, jurisdiction, encryption keys
  • Understanding of the two threats hitting governments simultaneously: vendor lock-in and the quantum decryption horizon
  • A sovereignty gap map and a clear sense of where to act first

Who is this for? Policymakers, regulators, national cybersecurity authorities, and senior public sector executives seeking a clear, actionable path from digital sovereignty principles to operational control.

Digital sovereignty is not an IT project. It is the new standard of national autonomy in the digital age.
