Schluss mit dem gefährlichen Microsoft-Daten-Larifari

Die Gefahr der totalen Microsoft-Abhängigkeit ist real. Unsere digitale Souveränität steht auf dem Spiel, und wir dürfen nicht warten, bis es zu spät ist. Die fast vollständige Abhängigkeit der Schweizer Bundesverwaltung von einem US-Konzern ist ein fundamentales Sicherheitsrisiko. Es geht um sensible Daten der Armee und aller Bundesbehörden – Informationen, die auf keinen Fall in fremde Hände gelangen dürfen.
