The EU Digital Sovereignty Illusion: What No One Is Telling You About Your 'Secure' Infrastructure

In this episode of Darnley's Cyber Café, Darnley cuts through the politics and exposes what EU digital sovereignty actually looks like beneath the surface...and it's not what policymakers are telling you.

Drawing from years of hands-on security assessments, incident response, and working directly with compromised organizations globally. Darnley breaks down why moving your data to European servers is a compliance exercise, not a security strategy, and why the firmware, chips, CVEs, and bug bounty programmes keeping your "sovereign" infrastructure alive are overwhelmingly American.

If you're a business owner, IT professional, or anyone following EU tech policy, this episode will change how you think about digital independence, data residency, and what genuine cybersecurity sovereignty would actually require. The cookie banners are real. The independence underneath them is not. Listen now.
