VQ’s Monthly News – July 2025
In this month’s newsletter, we’re sharing a new way to think about control, plus our upcoming events and the final chapter in our myth-busting blog series.
Get your collaboration under control
The cloud is convenient, but when it comes to secure collaboration, who controls it matters most.
What’s new at VQ?
New video series: Trust, control and data sovereignty
In this two-part video series with Robb Boyd, we explore why cloud-first infrastructure often falls short of true sovereignty – and how organisations are reclaiming control without abandoning Cisco.
We also break down the Trust Descent Triangle, explaining how layers of external trust weaken control and how to break free.
Where to find VQ this summer
We’re hitting the road. If you’re attending any of the following events, come say hello!

Myth, busted: Self-hosting isn’t just for the big guys
