Cloud Market Roadmap: CW2, in particular SB, has attempted to implement recommendations, in particular those around intermediation between AWS, the leading cloud provider, and its customers. SB are engaged with Vodafone, Bytes Technologies, NTT Data, Accenture, DXC and Dell on this. SB is delivering with workshops with the IMF and the Federal Reserve Board, and has designed and conducted a public cloud tender for the World Intellectual Property Organisation. CW2 has contacted Pearse O’Donohue and Pierre Chastanet to establish channels with EU bodies overseeing financial stability and system economic risks.
Clustering methodology: Being re-used in at least another on-going project with a similar problem statement focussing on cyber security and privacy (www.cyberwatching.eu CSA Unit H1). Trust-IT and UOXF are in discussions with the EC for the cluster tool and methodology to be used by DG DIGIT in order to group projects.
Catalogue of services and promotion of project results has been and will be used to identify candidates for the MTRL Framework. It provides a quick top-down enquirie service that originate from a user needs/market segment point of view. The Catalogue of services will be maintained and updated by Trust-IT services for the next 12 months and events published on website and through social media.
MTRL Framework & workshops has impacted directly on 6 projects: CloudTeams, MUSA, WAZIUP, CLARUS, COLA and EUBra-BigSEA. As a direct result of CW2 a for-profit company, Market and Technology Ready Ltd., has been set up as a commercial exploitation outlet employing three people.
Concertation meetings: have become “want-to-attend” events for projects and a 250-strong consolidated community of coordinators and participants has been sustained. Trust-IT will provide 4 annual Concertation meetings for Unit H1 Cyber security and privacy as part of the cyberwatching.eu project.
Risk management: CW2 has provided a framework and online self-assessment services for SMEs/PAs to perform a self-assessment of the data and services they handle, categorize their services in relevant risk areas, and have those areas mapped to suitable security controls.
Legal services: The legal recommendations have been (and will continue to be) used as training material for the Professional Certification Education Programme (including, the Data Protection Officer (DPO) Certification course) provided by the Maastricht European Centre on Privacy and Cybersecurity. ICTL used legal recommendations to structure a compliance framework for clients and will continue to promote them cloud legal events.
Cloudwatchhub.eu and a growing stakeholder community: CW2 has built up a consolidated stakeholder community around the CloudWatchHUB.eu which has been strengthened in Y2 through the results of the project. No competitor observatory contains such a wide-range of independent support tools and guides as well as access to software and cloud services. The strength of CloudWATCH2 assets is the high-level of independent expertise in key cloud issues such as security, risk management, legal and SLAs, pricing, technical and market readiness.
