Digital infrastructure is increasingly seen as a strategic asset amid geopolitical tensions and cyber threats. Mihnea Rădulescu, CEO of CloudXEdge, emphasizes the need for a multi-level analysis of vulnerabilities in Romania's IT infrastructure. He notes that many institutions operate parallel infrastructures, complicating the digital landscape. The rise of artificial intelligence presents challenges for data centers due to rising costs and energy consumption. While some organizations are well-protected, many smaller companies remain vulnerable. Rădulescu highlights that data sovereignty extends beyond storage location to include control over technologies managing information. The European Cloud and AI Development Act aims to establish standards for data sovereignty, addressing concerns over reliance on major global cloud providers.
