For years, organizations have embraced the convenience, cost savings, and speed of global cloud platforms. But in today’s geopolitical climate—where digital infrastructure is inseparable from national security—outsourcing critical communications to foreign-controlled services carries significant risks.
Recent incidents make this clear.
When your data isn’t really yours
In July 2025, reports confirmed that Microsoft cannot guarantee EU data protection from U.S. access—even when stored on European soil. Under the U.S. CLOUD Act, American companies can be compelled to hand over data regardless of where it resides.
That same month, a critical Microsoft SharePoint vulnerability was exploited by attackers, exposing the dangers of relying on platforms never designed with sovereign control or high-security operations in mind.
When sensitive communications are managed by third-party providers under foreign jurisdiction, “control” becomes little more than a compliance checkbox.
The gap between compliance and control
Meeting regulatory standards does not equal security. Without full control over infrastructure, cryptographic keys, and access policies, organizations remain vulnerable. This is unacceptable for governments, defense agencies, and critical infrastructure operators who cannot afford compromise.
True sovereignty demands full ownership
At SSH Communications Security, we built SalaX Secure Messaging for sectors where operational security is non-negotiable. SalaX is an end-to-end encrypted, real-time communication platform designed for today’s sovereignty and security challenges.
With SalaX, you get:
-
End-to-end encryption with verified identity – Always know exactly who you’re communicating with.
-
Flexible deployment – Host on-premises or in a fully owned cloud environment.
In a world where control over your data is as critical as the data itself, sovereignty starts with owning your communications.
