THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING
WISeKey operates a Swiss-EU based WISeID Cloud Storage Services and supports the EU New Data and Cloud Alliance that offers a broader push towards digital sovereignty, intended to reduce dependencies from Foreign Technology Providers.
FREMONT, CA: WISeKey Holding Ltd, a leading cybersecurity and IoT company, is supporting the European Union's new Data and Cloud Alliance, which aims to reduce reliance on foreign technology suppliers by promoting digital sovereignty. As a practical measure towards this support, WISeKey operates using a Swiss-EU based WISeID Cloud Storage service. The new European Union alliance has been in formulation since last year, with the purpose of creating innovative synergies between European computing tech companies and advising the EU executives on its industrial strategy and investments plans. In particular, the alliance aims to consult on the drafting of the regulatory cloud rulebook, in 2022.
Established in 2019, the WISeKey WISeID platform was built using WISeKey’s digital certificates and other innovative technologies. The WISeID Cloud Storage service has evolved to provide a greater emphasis on cloud services and integration with internet applications, allowing customers and partners to use the WISeID ecosystem to secure access to online services. The imposed need to enable teleworking since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 has forced users to rely more on cloud services, but this trend also means higher security risks, especially when traditional cloud storage services are used to store and/or share highly confidential information. The increased usage of video conferencing and collaboration services by employees working from home is putting a strain on back-end support services and increasing traffic on networks that connect users to these services. WISeKey, who have a reliable, resilient, and ample architecture and provide an uninterrupted client cloud experience,enables them to handle the additional load.
