Security in the digital age: Sovereign cloud solutions for the police, armed forces, intelligence services and their digitalization partners from industry
In the area of security and defence, the digital transformation offers many opportunities for optimizing work processes and improving effectiveness, for example in securing digital evidence. However, digitalization also increases the challenges: the threat situation in cyberspace is constantly growing. Protecting critical infrastructure, sensitive data and maintaining the ability to act are therefore a priority – for national and international security players alike.
A solution outside your own data center that meets the high need for protection must be digitally sovereign on a technological, economic and legal level in order to become less dependent on geopolitical developments. With our sovereign STACKIT Public Cloud and the STACKIT Distributed Cloud for the CORE, FOG and EDGE areas, compliance with these three key factors is guaranteed. The fulfillment of specific requirements, for example in the area of security, also enables the use of modern, sovereign platforms by authorities and companies in the area of internal and external security.

- Confidentiality requirements can be mapped (up to SECRET/NATO SECRET).
Applications for internal and external security
Sovereign cloud in practice
In addition to providing a highly secure public cloud infrastructure, we offer solutions that can be operated as private cloud environments. They all enable efficiency gains and increase the quality of work through modern technologies.
Data analysis with AI and business intelligence
Analyzing large amounts of data from various sources (e.g. social media, darknet analyses) is time-consuming and requires considerable resources. By using cloud-based big data platforms with integrated analysis tools and machine learning algorithms, patterns and trends can be identified and threats detected at an early stage. With our Data & AI Platform and the BI platform Strategy, we offer two reliable and powerful technologies.
Secure communication
Secure communication and the exchange of information between different operational teams are at risk due to a lack of encryption and access controls. Implementing a secure communication platform in the cloud with end-to-end encryption and role-based access control secures sensitive communication and protects confidentiality and integrity. With Wire, STACKIT provides a communication platform approved up to VS NFD that already combines quantum-safe encryption with universal connectivity and open formats.
Digital preservation of evidence
Securing digital evidence from conventional and cybercrime is complex and requires specialized expertise. A technological solution for forensic analyses, for example, with automated capture processes and integrated tools for preserving evidence must be operated on a secure infrastructure. With STACKIT Distributed Cloud, we offer the option of a dedicated, individualized private cloud environment. This creates a secure framework for the use of state-of-the-art technology for critical workloads.
Situation picture
The planning and execution of missions, operations and accesses requires a comprehensive understanding of the current situation. The challenge is to ensure a timely and complete picture of the situation that enables informed decision-making. To meet this challenge, our cloud platform is used to aggregate, analyse and visualize the data. It uses real-time data streams, artificial intelligence to extract insights and customizable dashboards to improve the user’s situational awareness.
With STACKIT, you can rely on a
