Cybersecurity
How Secure is Digital Government?
Digitalization offers immense opportunities—but also introduces new security risks. To drive successful digital transformation, public institutions must protect their IT systems from attacks, misuse, and failure. At the Smart Country Convention, discover how modern security solutions safeguard data and systems while building trust in a resilient digital infrastructure.
Cybersecurity as a fundamental requirement
Governments and public infrastructure are increasingly targeted by sophisticated cyberattacks. Protecting sensitive data and systems is no longer a niche concern—it’s a core requirement for a functioning administration. Beyond technical solutions, public institutions need clear processes, ongoing training, and high security standards—even under day-to-day conditions.

Acting with Sovereignty
Digital sovereignty means being able to use and control technologies, standards, and infrastructures independently. For the public sector, this is vital—especially when it comes to cloud systems, platforms, or software solutions. Secure systems and interfaces, European initiatives, and clear political frameworks are essential to reduce dependencies and ensure government autonomy.
