Swiss data protection officers have warned public bodies not to use cloud services from industry hyperscalers Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, due to a lack of true end-to-end encryption.
This comes as many SaaS vendors, especially those falling under the US Cloud Act, could be required to hand over data to US authorities, even if it’s stored in Switzerland.
Damn. I remember seeing a Reddit AMA when I first came across Protonmail some 7-odd years ago with the Protonmail CEO saying something along the lines of “we don’t plan on moving out of Switzerland because other country’s intelligence agencies concern us more than the Swiss intelligence” and I thought that was a good take. Hell, I still do in lieu of everything going on.
I wonder what happens now that they will be “physically diversifying across Europe”.
