Briefly

A recent study reveals that over half of UK IT leaders are moving away from US cloud providers due to increasing concerns about data sovereignty amidst political turbulence. 95% of IT leaders are wary of data risks, with 52% making strategic efforts to lessen their reliance on American tech. The focus has shifted from mere performance to the critical aspects of trust and control regarding data jurisdiction. Political tensions, particularly between the US and European regulations, have further emphasized the need for robust data protection strategies.
Organizations are becoming more aware and more wary of where their data is stored and who has jurisdiction over it.
The study highlights that cloud provider options are no longer just about performance or cost, with IT leaders focusing on trust, control, and strategic sovereignty.
