Digital sovereignty
Keep control of data, policy, and operations across SaaS, cloud, on‑premises, and air‑gapped environments - without adding complexity.
Keep control of data, policy, and operations across SaaS, cloud, on‑premises, and air‑gapped environments - without adding complexity.
Organizations maintain compliance with sovereignty regulations by demonstrating control of security and traffic enforcement, reducing exposure to foreign jurisdictional, legal, and operational risk, and asserting authority over workload deployment and migration. Compliance breaks when organizations lose control of the data, infrastructure, and operations. As regulations continue to evolve, organizations must build resilient digital infrastructures that deliver the control they require today, while remaining flexible enough to adapt as risk thresholds and geopolitical realities change.
Sovereignty, privacy, and resilience mandates continue to change, requiring architectures that can adapt without disruption
Dependence on a single cloud provider increases exposure to geopolitical pressure and provider outages
Disconnected tools and control planes create policy drift, compliance and security blind spots, increasing costs and risk
Inconsistent architectures make it difficult to move workloads and policies across environments as sovereignty regulations evolve
Some workloads are governed by strict data residency laws, while others demand operational independence or full isolation. The challenge is meeting those requirements without fragmenting operations.
The F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) helps organizations apply the right level of sovereignty to each application while keeping delivery, security and operations consistent across environments.
USE CASES
Automate failover across sovereign environments to meet resilience mandates such as DORA and NIS2 and keep applications always available.
Deliver and secure mission‑critical applications and AI in fully isolated environments without external service dependencies.
Relocate workloads across environments as needed as sovereignty requirements evolve, while preserving consistent delivery and security posture.
Build shared AI infrastructure and provide sovereign AI services with strict tenant isolation and policy control.
To sustain digital sovereignty, organizations need architectures that deliver demonstrable control while preserving the ability to adapt or migrate workloads as conditions change. Organizations must be able to meet evolving local regulations, maintain jurisdictional control over data access, mitigate outage risks, and maintain auditability – without fragmenting application delivery and security across environments and deployment models.
Apply uniform security, traffic, and policy enforcement across on‑premises, cloud, sovereign, and air‑gapped environments
Limit exposure to cloud provider outages and preserve access, continuity, and availability
Provide verifiable visibility, logging, governance, and policy control across data, metadata, and operations
Maintain consistent operating models across applications with diverse sovereignty needs
F5 ADSP converges hardware, software, and SaaS services so organizations can apply customized sovereignty controls to different applications. With consistent traffic management, security, and analytics on a single platform, organizations gain the flexibility to adapt or move workloads to meet evolving sovereignty requirements, while maintaining operational continuity – without re-architecting application services.
Apply the appropriate level of control to each application – from data residency to fully air‑gapped deployments on one platform
Operate application delivery and security consistently across hardware, software form factors
Support fully isolated environments with no “kill switch” for critical workloads
Move security, traffic, and governance policies across environments as regulatory or geopolitical conditions change
