Manage Geopolitical Risks and Digital Sovereignty in a Fast‑Moving Government Environment

Fast‑moving geopolitical dynamics are increasing risks to government services, requiring leaders to move beyond traditional data protection toward a broader digital sovereignty strategy. These risks are no longer theoretical — sanctions, legal conflicts and vendor decisions can directly disrupt operations.

This session explores how CIOs can assess risks across operational control, technology dependencies and supply chains. Gartner experts provide a practical framework to identify, prioritize and mitigate these risks across the technology stack. The discussion also highlights how leaders can reduce dependency exposure and build more resilient, sovereign‑aligned strategies to help ensure service continuity in an evolving global environment.
