Panel Discussion: How Will Native Cloud Migration Affect CC Certification? (A23b)
This expert panel surveys the challenges posed by the trend to native cloud migration. Under native cloud migration, applications are revamped to truly function in the cloud environment. Native cloud applications are often more complex than traditional applications due to their distributed nature and reliance on cloud services. This complexity can make it more challenging to define security requirements and conduct a thorough CC evaluation. If a CC certified application undergoes a significant transformation during a native cloud migration, it might require a re-evaluation against the Common Criteria standard. The specific impact on CC certification will depend on the existing certification level, the chosen cloud platform, and the extent of the migration. There is a possibility that not all cloud components will require CC certification.
