Digital Lines of Defense: Call for Papers.
Digital Lines of Defense: Cyber Defense Made in Europe. European providers of hardware, software, and IT services are featured in this book series, demonstrating that there are European alternatives to non-European providers, particularly those from the U.S.
The Idea
Europe has alternatives. We'll show you what they are.
Many politicians and IT executives claim that there is no European alternative to non-European hardware, software, and IT services. This is factually incorrect. The book series “Digital Lines of Defense” refutes this claim. A separate book is published for each key topic.
A book has lasting value. A book isn’t thrown away. A book stays on the shelf and in the library for a long time. A book is looked at again and again. A website is quickly forgotten. That’s why we deliberately focus on the printed word.
