The new report warns this Then he’s clumsy For modern digital warfare. Without a stronger leadership, especially from the US, the Alliance could face serious security risks.
The Center for the European Analysis of Politics (CEPA) has published a study showing that many NATO members fail to modernize their military information.
Although NATO leaders discuss the importance of safe and common cloudy infrastructure, most countries still store critical military information on local servers who are vulnerable to Cyber attacks.
The report calls the “warfare currency” information and calls on NATO to improve the way it stores and shares military information.

Currently, most NATO countries build separate national cloud systems. France uses Thales, Germany uses Arvato, and Italy cooperates with Leonard on the development of sovereign sovereign defense services, according to the CEPA Dam Report in the cloud: Reinforce NATO resistance.
Now they have their approach, using Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Oracle to build a sovereign cloud for the Ministry of Defense, as stated in the same Cepa report.
This fragmented setting creates major problems. The CEPA report explains that many of these national systems are not interoperative, which makes it difficult for the Allies to share intelligence or respond quickly into crisis times.
Although 22 NATO members have committed to build common cloud capabilities, progress was slow. Cepa describes a gap between what leaders promise and what is actually done, and the procedure remains slow and overly bureaucratic.

Some of the hesitation stems from political tension.
Since returning to the office, President Donald Trump He strengthened his long-standing position that NATO members must fulfill their defense obligations.
At the beginning of 2025. Trump suggested raising the goal above the current 2% of the reference value and publicly stated that now he would only defend the Allies of NATO who fulfill what he considers their “honest” cargo “.
At the same time, Trump deserved to strengthen the alliance by pushing European governments to increase their defense budgets.
In March, he pointed out what he called “hundreds of billions of dollars” in a new Allied defense consumption as evidence that his pressure was effective. His administration is still engaged in NATO meetings at a high level and publicly confirmed support for the basic mission of the Alliance.
State Secretary Marco Rubio He worked to persuade European partners. During the April meeting with the Minister of Foreign Foreign Affairs, NATO Brussels, he stated that they were “so active in NATO as ever”, pushing themselves to claim that the administration is separated.

According to the statements published by the State Department and was reported by Reuters, Rubio emphasized that Trump did not object to NATO himself, but an alliance that is not funded or not sufficiently funded.
Rubio also plays a central role in American efforts to establish peace in Ukraine. At the beginning of 2025, he conducted direct conversations with Russian officials in Saudi Arabia and presented Trump’s conditions for a possible truce, according to the official reading of the State Department and contemporary reporting of Reuters and other outlets.
Rubio emphasized that Ukraine and European allies would remain closely involved in the process. After a break in American aid earlier this year, he announced that military support would continue after Kiev signaled an agreement with a proposed peace frame.
In the meantime, NATO continues to assist Ukraine through a custody fund worth almost billions of dollars. This figure is based on NATO’s own reporting on its comprehensive assistance package, as stated in the CEPA report on April.
The Alliance also coordinates donations from training and equipment, but the CEPA report makes it clear that efforts are slowing down due to lack of safe data division.
The report indicates Estonia as a model of digital resistance. Estonia supports its government data in Luxembourg through the “data package” system, ensuring that it remains protected even if local systems are attacked. NATO, according to CEPA, should encourage similar strategies throughout the Alliance.

According to CEPA, now it is best positioned to lead the way, and Trump and Rubio are already taking the necessary steps to push NATO in the right direction.
The White House did not immediately respond to the Fox News Digital request for comment.
