WELCOME TO THE SECOND EDITION OF MEDINA NEWSLETTER!!!
September 2022
This newsletter is a publication of the MEDINA Project. Its goal is to provide information about the project activities and to showcase the project achievements. The objective of the Horizon 2020 MEDINA project is to provide access to secure, real-time certified cloud computing. In the future, the MEDINA platform that has been developed by the European project partners strife for enabling continuous certification through a series of efficient tools. This is based on the European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme for Cloud Services (EUCS), which has been addressed in the project by means of uniform “assessment rules” – measures, metrics, and measurement procedures. With continuous audits, we can ensure better overall security than with point-in-time audits. +info
