SUSE Launches Sovereign Premium Support to Address EU Data Sovereignty Concerns

Amidst growing wariness of US government and tech giants, the EU is seeing a surge in open-source and Linux adoption. To address data sovereignty issues, European open-source leader SUSE has launched its Sovereign Premium Support package. This service ensures all support personnel and data reside within the EU, with strict access control and encryption of customer data. This move caters to the increasing demand for data residency, privacy, and operational control within EU organizations, particularly in sectors like defense, government, and law enforcement. The launch comes as 2025 is projected as a 'watershed year' with increasing geopolitical and economic uncertainties pushing digital sovereignty to the forefront.
