EDA launches Cloud security workshop

Homeland February 17, 2020

The European Defence Agency has sent out a call for industry input ahead of its Cloud security workshop with ENISA.

The EDA will host a Cloud security workshop in April alongside the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA). The workshop will take into account the industry contributions which will help to determine the final programme and setting.

The workshop is co-organised with ENISA, the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) and the Computer Emergency Response Team for the EU Institutions, Bodies and Agencies (CERT-EU). To prepare this workshop, EDA issued a call for papers inviting industry to join the debate and provide input.

The paper could focus on one or more of the areas, and provide assessments such as specific the security challenges based on the contributor’s experience, focus on technology evolution of specific solutions, detailed product roadmaps, use cases, specific scenarios. The paper, which should not contain commercially sensitive information, will be used to determine the final invitations to the event and will be handled respecting proper attribution.

The event will assess the papers across the following criteria:

• Credibility
• Versatility
• Innovation
• Comprehensiveness
• Relevance.

Three computing models are usually available for cloud computing: IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service) and SaaS (Software as a Service), all based on various levels of virtualisation (sharing resources setup by the cloud provider across different cloud users), with an increasing level of migration and storage of information between the Enterprise and the Cloud Provider network. Despite its economic and technological advantages, information security has been a growing concern for cloud computing adoption, about the increasing amount of information being centralised on cloud providers, and specifically about the risks that this migration implies to the information assurance quality of Enterprise information.
