Study: How's your IT setup in 2025?

An Assessment of Security, Resilience and Sovereignty

IT security, IT resilience, and digital sovereignty are becoming increasingly important. Companies are facing a wide range of challenges—from cyberattacks and system failures to dependence on international cloud and software providers.

With this survey, we aim to assess the current status of companies and organizations regarding implemented IT security measures, resilient IT structures, and digital sovereignty.

The results will help us identify areas for action and develop future strategies to strengthen a secure, resilient, and sovereign IT landscape.
