The EU’s Plans to Build a Wall Around GDPR-Protected DataCategory: Security, Data, Privacy, Cloud, Infrastructure, firewall, artificial-intelligence
An ambitious German- and French-lead European Union (EU) initiative could wrestle tighter management, and eventually, control of data from commercial cloud providers. The project, dubbed as “Gaia-X,” is also intended to offer firewall-like protection for data sources from the EU.
The Gaia-X is thus “really meant to be a platform for data exchange that meets stringent requirements within the EU,” Longbottom said.
A main selling point of the project is that once data adheres to Gaia-X compliance, DevOps could, in theory, benefit from more seamless data transfers between parties within the environment, as well as transparency about how and where it is stored. Gaia-X is a good idea that will make life easier for EU members to share data across a trusted environment and allow externals to feed data into a known, highly standardized environment where they then do not have to prove GDPR compliance across Gaia-X itself,” Longbottom said.
