Live scenario: suverenitet på 90 dager

Tuesday, August 11th, 14:00-14:45

On a Monday morning, your organisation receives an alert: critical U.S. technology must be phased out within 90 days. Microsoft, AWS, and other key vendors can no longer be used. The board demands answers. Operations must continue. Customers expect services to function as normal.

But is this even possible? Who makes the decisions? Which systems should be prioritised, and what is the true cost of digital sovereignty?

In this interactive session, the Norwegian cybersecurity company mnemonic, together with representatives from Norway's emergency preparedness and security community, brings a realistic scenario to life through four fictional yet highly realistic scenes.
