Description du projet
Des solutions avancées pour la certification en tant que service continue du cloud
Les services basés sur le cloud font appel à l’IA, notamment à l’apprentissage automatique et au traitement du langage naturel. Cela complique le processus de certification de ces services. Comme le soulignent les certifications de la loi européenne sur la cybersécurité, la souplesse est importante pour faciliter le contrôle et l’évaluation. Une mise en œuvre complète de la certification en tant que service (CaaS), passe impérativement par la prise en compte des questions telles que l’absence d’interopérabilité technologique au sein des preuves de concepts pour la surveillance continue, l’adoption du cloud et de l’edge computing, l’incorporation de réglementations relatives aux domaines, la fragmentation du marché et l’adoption d’outils intelligents. Le projet EMERALD, financé par l’UE, entend développer une solution CaaS consistant en deux preuves de concepts: l’une impliquant une certification composite et l’autre la mise en correspondance des exigences avec les futurs programmes de certification de l’IA.
Objectif
Cloud-based services have grown from basic computing services to complex ecosystems, comprising (virtual) infrastructure, business processes and application code. These advanced services also increasingly leverage the usage of Artificial Intelligence, including Machine Learning or Natural Language Processing techniques, raising the complexity even higher. Due to the cascade of dependencies among the different products and services, the need arose to bring more agility to the certification process of cloud-based services, e.g. using continuous monitoring and assessment, as evidenced by references to it in the certifications of the EU Cybersecurity Act (EU CSA). To transform the continuous assessment and certification concept into the complete realization of a Certification-as-a-Service (CaaS), several challenges need to be solved: 1) current proposed proofs of concepts for continuous monitoring lack interoperability at technology level, 2) the adoption of cloud and edge computing and the incorporation of regulations on specific topics or domains, such as AI, put significant strain on companies to comply with a multitude of different security schemes, 3) existing market fragmentation for continuous certification (scope, methodologies), hinder transparency and accountability in the provision of European cloud services, 4),smart tools and models need to be adopted to ease the agile application and implementation of the CaaS concept reducing complexity in the whole cloud certification value chain easing the adoption of CaaS by the different stakeholders. To overcome these challenges, the design and implementation of the EMERALD CaaS solution leverages the H2020 project MEDINA’s outcomes and advances them to TRL 7 in the EMERALD core. Two PoCs will be provided; one for composite certification and one for mapping requirements to upcoming AI certification schemes. EMERALD will pave the road towards CaaS for continuous certification of harmonized cybersecurity schemes.
