Google strengthens EU sovereign cloud services, enhancing data security protection
According to reports on Wednesday, as global trade tensions continue, Google announced that it has expanded its sovereign cloud service options in the European Union and added a data protection shield to enhance cybersecurity. Google also revealed that it will deepen cooperation with local partners in sensitive industries, such as Thales in France, to meet stricter data protection requirements in these fields. A similar cooperation plan will soon be launched in the German market. Hayete Gallot, Google's President of Customer Experience, stated, "Sovereign cloud was once a very niche area, primarily applicable to highly regulated industries such as defense and intelligence. But in the current environment, everyone is starting to pay attention to this field." Gallot added that global tensions "are triggering widespread concerns," and customers "are seeking new options to manage their businesses." This move echoes Microsoft's actions last month. The Seattle-based tech giant was the first to make a "digital commitment" to European users, including a promise to legally resist any government directives that disrupt cloud services for European customers
