The main purpose of this workshop is to provide the means to offer cloud users reassurance that their data is equally safe no matter who the cloud service provider (CSP) is or in which Member State its infrastructure is located.
The workshop will be held in Brussels where relevant stakeholders will meet in order to discuss the main findings as well as to put forward recommendations to be applied in Europe.
Its goal is twofold: on one hand, it sets out to present the main findings, along with the current work in progress and the following steps of the study led by TECNALIA, and, on the other hand, it aims to gather feedback on the results from all attendees through participative sessions.
This workshop is part of the Free Flow of Data Initiative, in which the European Commission has launched a series of studies. They include a study on Cloud Security Certification Schemes, which is on-going and is led by TECNALIA.
The agenda of the workshop is shown below. After the event, please click on the names to see the corresponding presentations.
