UBITECH presents a scientific paper on Security and Privacy in New Computing Environments at EAI SPNCE 2020

Following a peer-review process, UBITECH’s scientific paper entitled “A Secure Experimentation Sandbox for the Design and Execution of Trusted and Secure Analytics in the Aviation Domain” has been accepted by the 3rd EAI International Conference on Security and Privacy in New Computing Environments (EAI SPNCE 2020), held online between 6-7 August 2020. Mr Dimitris Miltiadou, delivery manager of the Data Science and Analytics research group of UBITECH, and his co-authors presented the provisioning of a sophisticated environment that can completely guarantee the safety and confidentiality of data, allowing to any interested party to utilize the ICARUS big data-enabled platform to conduct analytical experiments in closed-lab conditions.

Within the data storage and the data analytics phases of the big data lifecycle, several security and privacy challenges arise which is imperative that they should be properly addressed so that data analytics will be embraced by the organizations. The ICARUS platform is by design supporting data security and privacy principles, to safeguard personal data, but also business critical data. One of the core offerings of the platform constitutes the ICARUS Secure Experimentation Sandbox which covers the needs for data analysis execution and visualization generation in a secure and trusted manner, effectively addressing the security and privacy challenges imposed by the nature of the big data, capitalizing on the latest advancements in the techniques and technologies that enable easy, fast and secure deployment of containerized execution environments.
