Description: In today's hyperconnected landscape, critical infrastructure operators and essential entities face unprecedented regulatory pressure, driven by the need to address cyber threats that are increasingly exacerbated by geopolitical developments and the growing role of Artificial Intelligence. In an environment where IT and OT infrastructures are becoming increasingly interconnected, the implementation of a Zero Trust model-based on the principle of "never trust, always verify" is emerging as a key enabler both for enhancing cyber resilience and safeguarding data sovereignty. In this context, where control over information flows and the location and exposure of data are essential to digital independence, Zero Trust enables access to information to be tailored according to identity and context, ensuring that sensitive data remain protected from external interference and unauthorised access. The proactive adoption of quantum-safe encryption policies can further strengthen the overall security posture against increasingly sophisticated data-exfiltration techniques. This is particularly important in industrial environments, where the overriding priority has traditionally been "operational continuity" rather than "cybersecurity." Adopting a Zero Trust model today therefore means not only protecting access to resources, but also actively governing where and how data are processed, stored and shared. In doing so, organisations can safeguard digital sovereignty and strengthen the overall resilience of the national ecosystem.
