With Donald Trump’s return to the White House, the geopolitical scenario has changed drastically. The United States adopts an increasingly aggressive position against European interests, especially in the digital field.
The diagnosis is clear: in 2025, cybersecurity can no longer be limited to technical excellence; It is a matter of strategic location.
Companies that depend on platforms beyond the reach of the European legal framework are exposed to state interference, industrial espionage and abuses about the data. What today may seem a profitable option, tomorrow could become a critical risk for the safety and continuity of the business.
The AI: a new mass attack vector
Artificial intelligence is deporting in depth the panorama of digital threats. Phishing emails, social engineering attacks, Deepfakes: These vectors are no longer designed manually, but are automated, personalized and deployed on a large scale.
AI reduces entry barriers for cybercriminals and significantly increases the success rate of their campaigns.
According to IDC, two thirds of experts in cybersecurity in Germany already consider AI as the main threat, even in front of the ransomware. However, this technology also represents a great defensive opportunity, provided that it is developed and used within a legal and sovereign framework.
“If you do not protect your data and your applications, it will be the end of your company.”

Security: a compliance demand and a strategic decision
Regulations such as the NIS2 Directive, the AI Regulation or the Law of Surveillance Duty converts cybersecurity into a legal obligation. But complying with the law is no longer enough: the key question is who has access to your data and under what jurisdiction.
Even so, many cloud services that are presented as “Europeans” and that are operated by American technological giants remain subject to foreign laws such as the Cloud Act of the USA. UU., Exposing companies to legal gray areas and a real loss of control over their data.
«Digital sovereignty is not limited to the location of the data. It is based on the total control of the infrastructure, the data and the legal framework. Only those who operate under European jurisdiction can guarantee their digital future ».

G Data and ionos: Applied digital sovereignty
What does truly sovereign security mean?
G Data Cyberdefense, European pioneer in cybersecurity, offers a clear example with its Cloud Malware detection service: Verdict-As-A-Service (VAAS). This solution analyzes files in real time, from the moment they are loaded to issue a definitive verdict.
What makes the difference?
G data does not display this service on a global Hyperscale infrastructure, but about the cloud of ionos, totally according to the RGPD, highly available and scalable, housed in European data centers.
Thanks to the architecture of Managed Kubernetes de ionos, the service can automatically climb: from 100 to 40 million files analyzed a day, with a start -up of only 15 minutes per new customer.
In 2025, security begins with sovereignty
Cybersecurity is no longer limited to a Firewall: it begins in the infrastructure.
In 2025, companies that seek real protection must go beyond conventional technical solutions. They need control, transparency and true digital independence. Ionic It offers the appropriate platform: the sovereign cloud provider of reference for companies and institutions in Europe.
Sure. Scalable 100 % European.
