CA Labs works with European Consortium as part
of Horizon 2020 contract to conduct research into cloud
security
As part of a European Consortium, CA Labs, the research arm at
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA), is conducting research and development
for innovative solutions to address security challenges in
multi-cloud environments. Horizon 2020 awarded a contract to the
consortium to conduct the research.
Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research programme to date funded
by the Innovation Union, a Europe 2020 flagship initiative aimed at
securing Europe's global competitiveness. With nearly €80 billion
of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020), Horizon 2020
awarded the consortium a total of €3.5 million for this cloud
security research project. The goal for Horizon 2020 is to bring to
the market new breakthroughs uncovered from research and the
lab.
“Cloud security must keep pace with the explosive growth in
demand for cloud services, and this research will help steer the
next generation of multi-cloud secure applications,” says Peter
Matthews, vice president and research staff member, CA Labs. “CA
Labs is immensely proud to be awarded this funding from the Horizon
2020 programme, and will be a key member of a consortium of
partners to innovate multi-cloud secure application breakthroughs
and discoveries that position European research at the vanguard of
the cloud revolution.”
The consortium members joining forces with CA Labs in the
three-year programme includes Tecnalia (Spain), CeRICT (Naples
University in Italy), Montimage (France), Aimes, (UK), Lufthansa
Systems AG (Germany) and Tampere University of Technology
(Finland). The goal of the consortium is to research and develop a
means for designing, monitoring and managing cloud security in the
context of concurrent usage of multiple cloud services provided by
different providers. The research also focuses on cloud data
protection. For example, protecting data from unauthorized access,
disclosure and modification, preventing unsanctioned access to
cloud computing resources, and ensuring effective governance,
control and compliance processes.
The research programme formally began in January 2015, and CA
Labs will concentrate its research on multi-cloud secure
deployment, the discovery of cloud resources based on security
properties, decision support systems associated with the cloud
resources and application requirements, and secure multi-cloud
application deployment. As part of its research, CA Labs will also
help define the security requirements and framework, monitoring and
management tools post deployment and case study validation.
Commenting on the launch of the research, Marco Comastri,
president EMEA, CA Technologies says, “Recent research commissioned
by CA Technologies revealed that the major obstacle among
organisations deploying cloud solutions was concerns over security.
The breakthroughs and discoveries brought about by this Horizon
2020 programme and the research conducted by CA Labs will help
alleviate those concerns by creating a security framework for
distributed applications over heterogeneous cloud resources.”
