Since the regulation on the use and processing of data is hardening throughout Europe, both the public and private sector redouble efforts to meet legal requirements without compromising security or innovation. In this address, Zscaler is positioned as a key ally by offering a platform designed to guarantee digital sovereignty and total control over sensitive data.
With the growing dependence on SAAS services and cloud solutions, European organizations face a complex dilemma: take advantage of the agility of technology without giving up control over where and how their data is processed. This requirement not only responds to the General Data Protection Regulation (RGPD), but also national regulations that affect critical sectors such as energy, finance or health.
Zscaler addresses this challenge with its Zero Trust Exchange platform, a cloud-native solution that safely connects users and applications, applying principles of minimal confidence and dynamic segmentation. The proposal is not limited to protecting cyberamezas: it also guarantees that the data remains under European jurisdiction and controlled by the client at all times.
«More than ever, the sovereignty of data and trust are key priorities for companies and governments throughout Europe. Not only do we help our clients navigate the complex regulatory requirements, but we also train them to modernize safely, innovate with confidence and maintain control over their most sensitive data, ”says Casper Klynge, vice president and responsible for government associations for EMEA in Zscaler.
With the Zero Trust Exchange platform, European companies can advance within a safe digital world, which meets the normative and resilient regulation
Digital sovereignty in Europe
This commitment materializes in a series of advanced features of the platform:
- Located storage: Zscaler has 25 data centers in Europe, 19 of them within the European Union. Companies can decide to use this infrastructure exclusively or even host their own record servers.
- Control on records: The solution allows you to define precisely where logs containing sensitive information are stored, from IP addresses to detected threats.
- Resilient design: Architecture includes disaster recovery and switching mechanisms, which guarantees operational continuity even in critical situations.
- Protection without exposure: Content analysis is done without processing the original client data, reinforcing privacy and compliance.
Technology aligned with European values
At a time when digital sovereignty has become a strategic vector for Europe’s digital transformation, Zscaler defends a model in which security, compliance and performance are not exclusive. In fact, by maintaining the data near the end users, the platform also improves the latency and capacity of response of applications, which results in a better experience for employees and citizens.
