Why Digital Sovereignty Matters

Have you ever given thought to the possibility that the suppliers of your core business technology, brands like Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP, might simply turn you off with no warning?

It sounds fanciful, absurd, a black swan event so far beyond any reasonable risk matrix as to be unworthy of consideration.

Yet it happened this year, 2025, to a major oil company in the world's most populous country.

What was once unimaginable is now here, and with it, lessons for every oil and gas organization, indeed every company, about the new risks in the digital landscape.
