en.Wedoany.com Reported - Versa Networks has partnered with Noris Network to fully deliver its Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution within Germany. The vendor states that businesses of all sizes will, for the first time, gain access to an integrated platform combining cybersecurity, data sovereignty, and AI-driven security features, with a commitment that traffic inspection, policy enforcement, and operational control all take place within Germany, in compliance with applicable European laws and regulations.

In a statement, the vendor emphasized that heightened geopolitical tensions, U.S. access rights to cloud data, and increasingly stringent regulatory requirements such as NIS-2, DORA, and the Cyber Resilience Act have made digital sovereignty a business-critical priority. Versa CEO Kelly Ahuja explained that many companies have invested in sovereign cloud strategies but found that their security, management, and control layers still operate outside their jurisdiction. He argued that deploying a cloud SASE vendor's equipment on a customer's premises does not make the solution sovereign; true sovereignty requires control over where policies are enforced, where control and management occur, and who controls data during transmission.

A key factor is independence from U.S. hyperscale cloud providers or non-European parent companies. Noris Network's CRO Joachim Astel expressed great pleasure in supporting Versa through the Noris sovereign cloud platform, located in German data centers, noting that customers and partners from the security and regulated sectors can trust the high security and compliant IT operations provided by Noris.

Four Levels of Sovereignty

The offering is specifically aimed at companies in regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, and public administration, as well as critical infrastructure operators (KRITIS), which must meet high demands for data protection, availability, and compliance. Traffic inspection, threat defense policy enforcement, and content filtering occur at local points of presence (PoPs), with traffic never leaving Germany. Full zero-trust access, including identity verification, continuous authentication, and access decisions, is conducted entirely within the sovereign environment. Platform management, logging, configuration, and operational access are also performed locally and are fully auditable under EU law. The service is provided under contract through the Dutch EU company Versa Networks B.V.

This offering complements the long-standing possibility of using self-hosted sovereign Versa SASE. The manufacturer has offered this product for over five years, winning over companies particularly in the defense, telecommunications, and critical infrastructure sectors. For example, Swisscom's enterprise customer cybersecurity product ("Beem") operates based on such an architecture.
