Cloud and Edge Computing

Contribution to the national body position through discussions with our members provides a voice to the concerns or challenges of our SMEs as well as to larger organisations.

It is critical to establish common European standards linking hardware and software particularly in new areas of technology and standardization. Example use cases include the improvement of reliability of edge and cloud computing where processing of personal data, or highly regulated data is concerned. This is even more important when considering the complexities of combining (even anonymized) data sets and processing that data in cloud hosted environments. With the impact of layered approaches to address these complexities the necessity to harmonize software and cloud-based techniques is essential.

Organisations willing to achieve a resilient cybersecurity system will have to implement an information security management system. The standards developed through this contribution will provide SME and European societies with a comprehensive guidance on how to use ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002. Moreover, ISO/IEC 27017 will provide SMEs working as Could service providers with a comprehensive list of guidelines to implement when providing services to Could service customers.

Organisations willing to achieve a resilient cybersecurity system will have to implement an information security management system. Within that context, this contribution helps organisations of any size including SMEs to achieve better security and cybersecurity through the use of standards like ISO/IEC 27003, ISO/IEC 27028, and ISO/IEC 27004 that will be revised and developed through this work. In addition, this contribution provides technology organisations with a framework to develop and use secure cloud systems ISO/IEC 27017, edge computing systems ISO/IEC 25545 and raise awareness about security and privacy aspects of digital twin systems ISO/IEC 27568 so those concerns can be integrated at an early stage and achieve security and privacy by design when developing such innovative technology.
