Article Summaries:

  • Red Hat has launched an EU‑focused digital‑sovereignty initiative, the Red Hat Confirmed Sovereign Support (RHCSS) program, and released an open‑source Digital Sovereignty Readiness Assessment toolkit. The web‑based survey asks 21 questions across seven domains-data, technical, operational, assurance, open‑source strategy, executive oversight, and managed services-to gauge how much control an organization has over its data, infrastructure, and operations. Results map to four maturity stages and include a roadmap of next steps. The tool and its methodology are published under Apache 2.0 on GitHub, allowing any stakeholder to use, extend, or fork the framework.
