SUSE Sees Open Architectures Redefining Resilience And Digital Sovereignty
siliconANGLE, Tuesday, April 21st, 2026
Resilience and digital sovereignty are emerging as defining priorities in enterprise IT amid rising multicloud complexity and AI adoption. In response, organizations are betting on open, modular architectures and partner ecosystems to reclaim flexibility and control.
Resilience is often tied to sovereignty and security. That link can create a tendency to think systems need to be closed or locked down to maintain control, according to Margaret Dawson (pictured), chief marketing officer of SUSE S.A. That logic, however, conflates visibility with vulnerability, improperly casting resilience, sovereignty and security as arguments for closed systems.
'None of those things mean that you can't be open. I think what we're bringing to this conversation is you actually can't be sovereign in a black box,' Dawson said. 'You need to be able to see. You need that transparency to have control.'
