On the 28th and 29th of January the consortium members of the SECCRIT project met for the official project kick-off. The SECCRIT project (SEcure Cloud computing for CRitical infrastructure IT) is a small-to-medium sized collaborative EU-funded research project in the 7th Framework Programme (FP7-SEC-2012-1). The project consortium is comprised of ten partners from Austria, Finland, Germany, Greece, Spain and the UK. The project will last three years with a funding of 3.4 Mio EUR.
The goal of the SECCRIT project is to analyse and evaluate cloud computing technologies with respect to security risks in sensitive environments, and consequently to develop methodologies, technologies, and best practices for creating a secure, trustworthy, and high assurance cloud computing environment for critical infrastructures. At the kick-off meeting, there were lively discussions about the research challenges to be addressed by the project, which resulted in a productive and friendly atmosphere.
