From vendor dependency to digital resilience
Digital resilience is no longer only about firewalls, backups and incident response. For many European organisations, it is also about understanding how much of their critical work depends on a limited number of external technology providers — and what would happen if those dependencies became legally, commercially or operationally difficult to maintain.
This does not mean that every organisation should immediately replace well-known commercial software. In many cases, products from global vendors remain secure, mature and cost-effective. But it does mean that boards, CISOs and IT leaders should understand their dependency map, know where vendor lock-in exists, and have a realistic exit strategy for the systems that matter most.
At H-X Technologies, we approach this topic as a cybersecurity and resilience challenge, not as an ideological choice.
