Research on Security and Innovation in the Cloud

This blog has been focusing, for a while, on aspects related to research on Security and Identity and Access Management (IAM) ... This blog will now pay more attention to topics related to Research in the space of Security and Innovation in the Cloud Computing areas ...

The EnCoRe Third Technical Architecture is now available online.

This document now provides a fine grained description of a technical approach to deal with the management of dynamic consent and privacy within organisations and in distributed scenarios (e.g. the cloud and supply-chains). ...

HP Labs have implemented a fully working Service Framework  - technology and demonstrator - supporting all the capabilities discussed in the architectural document. ...

I am particularly interested in innovating in the space of Situational Awareness and Information Sharing.

These areas are getting more and more relevant within organisations, beyond the traditional military and government contexts ...

In previous posts of mine I discussed the fact that HP Labs have developed an approach and capabilities to assess the risks associated to organisations’ Incident Management and Remediation processes. These capabilities, centred on HP Security Analytics, enable decision makers not only to assess the performance and security risks associated to current processes but also to explore potential what-if scenarios (e.g. changes of SLAs, changes of processes/resources, changes of threat environments) and identify suitable investments.

There is an opportunity in designing and building the next generation of Security Analytics and Risk Management services that can scale and cope with these emerging scenarios  ...

The HP Labs Innovation Research Programme (IRP) for 2012 has now been announced. The IRP 2012 Program Guidelines will be published soon.

I’ll provide updates, in particular for IRP topics of relevance to the Cloud & Security Lab (CSL).
