Research on Security and Innovation in the Cloud

[#1]

This blog has been focusing, for a while, on aspects related to research on Security and Identity and Access Management (IAM).

In the meanwhile, my R&D activities have evolved consistently with HP Labs R&D research directions and priorities. It is time to reflect these changes also in my Blog.

This blog will now pay more attention to topics related to Research in the space of Security and Innovation in the Cloud Computing areas.

I n some way this has been anticipated in this blog by various posts (I submitted in the past months), discussing key aspects in the following areas:

• HP Security Analytics, applied to a variety of fields (beyond IAM), including Incident Management and Remediation, to provide strategic risk assessment and decision support;
• Innovation in the space of Situational Awareness, inclusive of new issues (and opportunities) due to the wider adoption of services in the Cloud and the consequent loss of control;
• Exploitation of new HP SW capabilities, such as HP ArcSight and TippingPoint in the above areas;
• Research and development in the space of consent and privacy management, including the work done by HP Labs in EnCoRe in providing a fully working Service Framework to support those capabilities;
• Innovation in the space of Cloud Computing , their management and related processes & information, inclusive of accountability management (e.g. via sticky policies), situational awareness, next generation SOC centres, etc. 
• ...

Of course Identity and Access Management still plays a key role in all these areas: I am sure that some of my future blog posts will still discuss IAM aspects and related cool R&D work that we do at HP Labs.
