EU drops sovereignty requirements in cybersecurity certification scheme, document shows
Amazon, Alphabet's Google and Microsoft may find it easier to bid for EU cloud computing contracts after draft cybersecurity labelling rules scrapped a requirement that vendors should be independent from non-EU laws, according to the document seen by Reuters. The European Union has struggled to agree to a cybersecurity certification scheme (EUCS) to vouch for the cybersecurity of cloud services and help governments and companies in the bloc to select a secure and trusted vendor for their business. The move comes as Big Tech looks to the lucrative government cloud market to spur growth.
