The CLEANSE Lab – CLoud Native ApplicatioN Security is here

The historic partnership between Dedagroup, an aggregation hub of Italian excellence in Software and Solutions As a Service that accompanies companies, financial institutions and PA in the evolution of IT and digital strategies, and Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), an international research center based in Trento that works in the fields of science, technology and human sciences, has been further strengthened. In fact, it doubles the collaboration started in 2016, the year the first Co-Innovation Lab dedicated to AI & Data Engineering was established, with the creation of a second joint lab for continuous technology transfer, focused on cybersecurity for next-generation software, a topic that is increasingly crtical today for public and private companies of all sizes.

Thus the Cleanse Co-Innovation Lab – CLoud Native ApplicatioN Security has been established, a joint investment in sharing the strong competencies of its promoters, with the aim of enabling the market to integrate new methodologies and new tools for the development of cloud native software secure by design, so as to anticipate and respond to the increasingly high standards required in the field of cybersecurity – linked for example to the new NIS2 regulation – and to the complexity of the challenges posed by new technology and application scenarios.

With this in mind, FBK will provide Cleanse with the resources and methodologies of its Center for Cybersecurity committed to two main lines of research: digital identity and security of distributed services. Dedagroup, on the other hand, will bring the field experience of an operator committed to accompanying more than 4,000 clients in digitization, many of them active in “critical” sectors from the point of view of the sensitivity of the data processed, such as public administrations and financial institutions.
