Banken, verzekeraars en pensioenfondsen zouden beter moeten samenwerken, maar ook moeten de regels voor bijvoorbeeld aanbestedingen worden aangepast.
There is also this FD (Financial newspaper) article that covers the press conference:
DNB: financiële sector moet binnen vijf jaar minder afhankelijk zijn van VS
(link to archived version: https://archive.is/FsnM7)It doesn’t say that much more than the NOS article, but here is their summary (translated by Deepl):
In brief
- DNB warns of the risks associated with dependence on American IT service providers.
- The regulator wants financial institutions to take responsibility.
- Flexible contracts and joint procurement, among other measures, should help to reduce dependence.
Even if it were true, that would be no reason not to get started. Every bit of reduced dependency is good.
It took me 11 months to move away from all US tech and services personally. I have only 2 domains at namecheap and cloudflare for one service left. Everything else is done, I started out with a list that spanned 3 DIN A4 pages last year.
Also switched from Apple to Linux and iOS to Graphene OS.
It’s a LOT different when you need uptime garuntees.
AWS was down a lot more often than my private server in the last few years. And it took half the internet with it each time. Not so sure about guaranteed uptime.
Hyperscalers always boast about uptime, fail over, resilience, etc etc. The thing is, the majority of customers using the hyper scalers as is actually do not get those guaranteed at all.
If really wanted to have them, you’d need to pay a hefty premium contractually as well as on how your infra is managed, effectively tripling or more your infra cost, not accounting for additional cost for good SLA response times, getting access to real knowledgeable support staff, …I think I wasn’t specific enough. Uptime being availability of the software or service to the government employees that use it.
Dump all American products and services!
Where is this crowd sourced list? I don’t have time.
No list it seems, no study, this guy is just pulling things out of his ass.
