German security agency adopts European data software alternative to Palantir

Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Verfassungsschutz) has procured a European-made data analysis software as an alternative to products from US firm Palantir, according to reporting by German public broadcasters. The purchase reflects growing concern among German security agencies about reliance on American intelligence technology and represents a push toward EU digital sovereignty. The move signals broader efforts within EU governments to reduce dependency on controversial foreign technology providers for sensitive security operations.
