The growing adoption of cloud technologies and the trend to virtualise applications are inexorably re-shaping the traditional
security paradigms, due to the increasing usage of infrastructures outside of the enterprise perimeter and shared with other
users. The need for more agility in software development and maintenance has also fostered the transition to micro-services
architectures, and the wide adoption of this paradigm has led service developers to protect their applications by including
virtualised instances of security appliances in their design. Unfortunately, this often results in security being managed by
people without enough skills or specific expertise, it may not be able to cope with threats coming from the virtualization layer
itself (e.g., hypervisor bugs), and also exposes security appliances to the same threats as the other application components.
It also complicates legal interception and investigation when some applications or services are suspected of illegal activity.
To overcome the above limitations, the ASTRID project aims at shifting the detection and analysis logic outside of the
service graph, by leveraging descriptive context models and their usage in ever smarter orchestration logic, hence shifting
the responsibility for security, privacy, and trustworthiness from developers or end users to service providers. This approach
brings new opportunities for situational awareness in the growing domain of virtualised services: unified access and
encryption management, correlation of events and information among different services/applications, support for legal
interception and forensics investigation.
ASTRID will develop a common approach easily portable to different virtualisation scenarios. In this respect, the technology
developed by the Project will be validated in two relevant domains, i.e., plain cloud applications and Network Function
Virtualisation, which typically exploits rather different chaining and orchestration models.
