🇫🇷 Cybersecurity in focus — see you at INCYBER Forum Europe 2026. Thimo Holst and Christin Gmelch will be on site in Lille at one of Europe’s leading conferences on digital security and trust. The Forum INCYBER (FIC) brings together international cybersecurity ecosystems to address one of today’s key challenges: mastering our digital dependencies. We’re looking forward to insightful discussions, new connections and exchanging perspectives with the global cybersecurity community. Attending? Let’s connect in Lille! 🤝 #itsaexpo #INCYBER

📩 The new it-sa newsletter is live. 👉 In this edition, we focus on two key topics shaping cybersecurity strategies today: Digital sovereignty as a critical risk management instrument in volatile times, and the role of Zero Trust in building resilient, future-proof security architectures. As organisations face increasing uncertainty, both concepts are becoming central to maintaining control, reducing dependencies and strengthening overall security posture.

⚙️ If trust is built into your architecture, so is risk. Cyber risk today is less about isolated attacks — and more about how systems are designed. Organisations that still rely on implicit trust are managing uncertainty rather than reducing it. A consistent Zero Trust approach changes that. By removing assumptions of trust and enforcing continuous verification, Zero Trust helps build resilient structures, reduce attack surfaces and limit potential impact. It’s not just a security model, but a strategic framework for resilience and digital sovereignty. 👉 Our latest Knowledge article on it-sa 365 outlines the key principles of a strong Zero Trust architecture.

🔐 What if the biggest security risk isn’t the attacker, but your architecture? Many cyber incidents are not the result of highly sophisticated attacks. They stem from structural gaps — in architecture, access control and identity management. This is exactly where Zero Trust comes in. Instead of relying on implicit trust, Zero Trust establishes continuous verification, ensuring that every access request is validated and every identity is controlled. 👉 Our latest Knowledge article on it-sa 365 breaks down the core principles of a strong Zero Trust architecture and how organisations can address these structural weaknesses.

Our new Digital Sovereignty topic page on it-sa 365 brings together expert insights, articles and practical knowledge to help you navigate this challenge. Discover key perspectives, explore relevant solutions and connect with providers working on sovereignty-focused security architectures. The best part: solutions and expertise are available 365 days a year on it-sa 365. 👉 Explore the topic page here: https://lnkd.in/dhtUQZ8v #itsa365

🔐 Modern cloud environments are too complex for fragmented security tools. This is where Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP) come in. A CNAPP connects configurations, workloads and permissions into one contextual risk view across cloud environments. That’s why the concept is becoming increasingly important for organisations operating complex cloud infrastructures. On it-sa 365, our experts break down complex cybersecurity terms in a clear and practical way — giving IT security professionals access to valuable knowledge and expert insights. ➡️ Discover more cybersecurity expertise on it-sa 365: https://www.itsa365.de/en #itsa365

Digital sovereignty — what does it actually mean? The term is widely used. Often politically charged. Frequently misunderstood. Some might think it means building your own data centre in the basement — or simply moving everything to the cloud and hoping for the best. ❌ You'll find the correct answer in the comments after 3 days. 💪🏼 Digital sovereignty isn’t about isolation or rejecting innovation. It’s about staying in control and preserving freedom of choice, even when conditions change. ➡️ Discover best practices across strategy, architecture and compliance on it-sa 365: https://lnkd.in/d5UmVRHv #itsa365
