Descrizione del progetto
Soluzioni avanzate per una certificazione continua del cloud come servizio
I servizi basati sul cloud si avvalgono delle tecnologie basate sull’intelligenza artificiale, comprese quelle relative ad apprendimento automatico ed elaborazione del linguaggio naturale, un fatto che ne complica il processo di certificazione. Come messo in evidenza dalle certificazioni del regolamento sulla cibersicurezza dell’UE, l’agilità è un aspetto importante per facilitare le operazioni di monitoraggio e valutazione. Per raggiungere la piena implementazione della certificazione come servizio (CaaS, certification-as-a-service), è essenziale affrontare questioni quali l’assenza di interoperabilità tecnologica nell’ambito delle prove di concetto per il monitoraggio continuo, l’adozione del cloud e dell’edge computing, l’incorporazione delle normative relative ai domini, la frammentazione del mercato e la diffusione di strumenti intelligenti. Il progetto EMERALD, finanziato dall’UE, svilupperà una soluzione CaaS costituita da due prove di concetto, di cui la prima prevede una certificazione composita e la seconda comporta la mappatura dei requisiti ai futuri schemi di certificazione dell’intelligenza artificiale.
Obiettivo
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.
