Europe is looking towards a green digital transformation to shape its future. Cloud technologies will be key enablers towards this transition that will unleash the potential of the European data economy and ensure its industrial competitiveness while making them sustainable. To grow its impact and effectively shape Europe’s digital future, the European Cloud Computing community needs to overcome fragmentation of efforts, ensure proper know-how and tech transfer from research to industry, create the most favourable policy and regulations conditions and raise investments, both on the private and public sides.

The Horizon Cloud Summit 2021 – at its second edition – aims at gathering innovators and researchers, Cloud adopters, policy makers, as well as Cloud initiatives, and open source projects to shape the EU digital transition.

The main objectives are to:

• Discuss priorities for Europe at different levels and for different actors, supporting the consolidation of a Strategic Agenda for Research, Innovation and Deployment of Cloud Computing in Europe as a crucial step to guide future public and private investments, by identifying future challenges to be covered in Horizon Europe, Digital Europe, and other EU programmes.
• Explore the last evolution of Cloud Computing in Europe, giving spaces to cutting edge research outcomes, innovative open solutions,  and emerging use cases.
• Discuss latest developments in the EU policy landscape, influencing the Cloud market, and how the Cloud stakeholders plan to support Digital Decade ambition toward green digital transformation, i.e. achieving “10,000 climate neutral highly secure edge nodes”.
• Explore the role of open source strategies, standards and business models in shaping EU digital autonomy.
• Increase collaboration among Cloud stakeholders and foster the creation of synergies across the European Cloud Computing ecosystem, that will ensure its growth.

“Future Proofing and Certifying Supply Chains” Clustering Workshop

The Clustering Workshop co–organized by EU-funded projects ASSURED and CYRENE aims at bringing together projects that target Supply Chain Security, Resilience and Certification aspects, experts, members and consultants from standardization and certification bodies for exploring synergies and identifying actions that can be pursued in common.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

TOPIC

Cybersecurity is a complex ecosystem targeting the protection of all building blocks of IoT and next-generation smart connectivity “Systems of Systems”. For this reason, it is of paramount importance to have such networked information systems designed having security, privacy, data protection, fault tolerance and accountability in mind from their design phase. However, this is not an easy task at hand – the restricted environment of many IoT devices and CPSoS makes the deployment of complex security solutions rather challenging and a continuous arms race for balancing several trade-offs such as security vs safety, security vs privacy, security vs trust, security vs usability, security vs cost, to name a few. It is now understood that new solutions cannot be rolled out unless all these challenges have been overcome and they are properly secured and they ensure user’s privacy.

Towards this direction, we already have a rich trove of algorithms, tools and mechanisms to ensure the security and trustworthiness of ICT systems and both industry and academia are allocating a lot of resources for enhancing such mechanisms taking into account future-proof, advanced cryptographic means, trusted computing, certification and auditing schemes for connected devices, Blockchain for secure data sharing, multi-factor authentication hardware and software solutions, etc.

However, in spite all the progress made, how close are we to feeling safe in cyberspace and truly protecting all algorithms, hardware and software across the entire supply chain? How well do we do in addressing real-world security and privacy (S&P) problems? Or, to put it slightly differently, how could we best address them? The goal of this workshop is to foster collaboration and discussion among cyber-security researchers and practitioners, through bringing together a number of EU security initiatives, better understand the various facets and trade-offs of cybersecurity and how new technologies and algorithms might impact existing or future security models.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”REGISTER NOW!” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#592b7d” outline_custom_hover_background=”#c62974″ outline_custom_hover_text=”#ffffff” shape=”round” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-ticket-alt” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fti.to%2Fassured%2Ffuture-proofing-and-certifying-supply-chains%2F|title:REGISTER%20NOW!|target:_blank|rel:nofollow”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
