A market historically dominated by American players
For over a decade, the mobile cybersecurity market has been largely dominated by American companies, benefiting from massive marketing budgets and strong international visibility.
However, the current context, marked by rising tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and stricter regulatory requirements is shifting the dynamic. According to Le Monde Informatique, "The increase in tariffs is leading to a reevaluation of sourcing strategies in the cybersecurity sector" and "Non-American clients could be encouraged to favor local solutions." As a result, the debate around digital sovereignty is gaining momentum.
Beyond costs, the issue of digital sovereignty is now taking center stage. As Emmanuel Macron emphasized during his March 5 speech, "Data has become as strategic a resource as energy or raw materials." In this context, data control — an imperative strengthened by the GDPR — is no longer optional for European companies: it is a strategic necessity.
The risks of relying on American solutions
American or non-European solutions pose several critical risks for European organizations.
-
Loss of control over data
The Cloud Act (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act) requires American companies to provide authorities, upon request, with any data they hold or control, even if hosted outside the United States. This directly exposes European companies to potential leaks of strategic information: sensitive industrial data, critical infrastructure information, or personal data protected by the GDPR.
In addition, there is exposure to other extraterritorial American laws such as FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) and the Patriot Act, allowing authorities to monitor or seize data without prior notification. This legal environment places European organizations in a situation of operational, economic, and legal vulnerability, particularly in cases of cross-border disputes or investigations.
-
Weakening of vital European sectors
Beyond compliance issues, reliance on non-European solutions directly exposes strategic sectors such as defense, energy, or public services to risks of economic pressure, state interference, and even sabotage or industrial espionage. In the current climate of growing geopolitical tensions, choosing a cybersecurity solution from outside Europe means risking that critical data could be exploited for economic, political, or military purposes, with no possible recourse.

Hindrance to the development of European technological sovereignty
Heavy dependence on extraterritorial technologies undermines Europe's ability to develop its own cybersecurity standards. This lack of technological autonomy weakens Europe's influence on international norms, increases economic dependency, and exposes organizations to foreign political or commercial decisions.
