Taking Back Control
This is about complex regulatory environment in Europe, pointing to GDPR, NIS2, and the upcoming Cyber Resilience Act as major examples. I'll emphasize how difficult it is for organizations to navigate these overlapping rules, especially when each EU member state interprets them differently.
Europe’s digital infrastructure relies heavily on external platforms governed outside the EU. As regulations and geopolitical risk grow, this becomes a strategic liability.
In this talk, Kerim explores how to build modern software that runs within European boundaries, keeps data and intelligence local, and remains automated, scalable, and compliant without mandatory cloud dependence.
Kerim is a senior developer advocate at IBM, where he coaches operators and developers on sustainable infrastructure and orchestration workflows.
Before he joined IBM, Kerim worked on Industrial IoT for the Amsterdam airport and helped museums bring more of their collections online.
