Microsoft, Google, And Amazon Should Not Be Discriminated Against, EU Groups Demand As They Rally For 'Inclusive' Cybersecurity Label
A coalition of 26 European industry groups has called for a non-discriminatory approach to the proposed European Union Cybersecurity Certification Scheme (EUCS) for cloud services. The groups demanded that tech giants like Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT), Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google, and Amazon.com, Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) should not be discriminated against.
由26個歐洲行業團體組成的聯盟呼籲在歐洲聯盟網絡安全認證計劃（EUCS）雲服務的提議中採取非歧視性方法。這些團體要求像Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT)、Alphabet Inc.的 (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google和Amazon.com, Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) 等科技巨頭不應遭受歧視。
What Happened: The European Commission, the EU cybersecurity agency ENISA, and EU member states are set to convene on Tuesday to discuss the EUCS. This scheme is designed to aid governments and businesses in selecting secure and reliable cloud service providers, reported Reuters.
事件經過：據路透報道，歐洲委員會、歐盟網絡安全機構ENISA和歐盟成員國將於星期二召開會議，討論EUCS。這一計劃旨在幫助政府和企業選擇安全可靠的雲服務提供商。
The industry groups, which include the American Chamber of Commerce to the EU and the European Payment Institutions Federation, have expressed concerns that the EUCS might unfairly target major U.S. tech companies.
這些行業團體包括歐盟美國商會和歐洲支付機構聯合會等機構，他們表達了對歐洲聯盟網絡安全認證計劃可能不公正針對美國主要科技公司的擔憂。
"We believe that an inclusive and non-discriminatory EUCS that supports the free movement of cloud services in Europe will help our members prosper at home and abroad, contribute to Europe's digital ambitions, and strengthen its resilience and security," the groups said in a joint letter to EU countries.
這些團體在一封聯合信中寫道：“我們認爲，支持雲服務在歐洲自由流動的包容性和非歧視性EUCS將有助於我們的成員在國內外蓬勃發展，有助於實現歐洲的數字化願景，增強歐洲的韌性和安全性。”
The proposed EUCS, which has been under review since 2020, has undergone several changes. A recent version eliminated the sovereignty requirements, which previously mandated U.S. tech giants to establish a joint venture or collaborate with an EU-based company to store and process customer data within the EU to qualify for the highest level of the EU cybersecurity label.
自2020年以來，EUCS已經經歷了多次修改。最近一版刪除了主權要求，之前要求美國科技巨頭與歐盟公司合作，在歐洲聯盟內存儲和處理客戶數據，才能獲得最高級別的歐盟網絡安全認證標籤。
The industry groups have emphasized the importance of an inclusive and non-discriminatory EUCS to support the free movement of cloud services in Europe, contributing to Europe's digital ambitions and strengthening its resilience and security.
這些行業團體強調了支持雲服務在歐洲自由流動、促進歐洲數字化願景和增強歐洲韌性和安全性所需的包容性和非歧視性EUCS的重要性。
Why It Matters: The proposed EUCS has been a topic of contention in the tech industry. The removal of sovereignty requirements was a significant shift from the previous proposal, which had mandated U.S. tech giants to collaborate with EU-based companies to store and process customer data in the EU.
爲科技行業的一個爭議話題。取消主權要求是與以前的提案相比的重大轉變，前提要求美國科技巨頭與歐盟公司合作，在歐洲聯盟內存儲和處理客戶數據。
This development comes in the wake of increasing cybersecurity concerns globally, with major tech companies being at the forefront of these discussions. For instance, Microsoft faced criticism for its security lapse earlier this year and is now under scrutiny for its security measures after breaches by Russian and Chinese hackers.
在全球網絡安全問題日益突出的背景下，一些主要的科技公司引起了人們的關注。例如，微軟今年早些時候因安全漏洞而受到批評，現在在俄羅斯和中國黑客攻擊後，微軟的安全措施也受到了審查。
Meanwhile, companies like CrowdStrike are taking proactive measures to enhance their cybersecurity capabilities, with collaborations like the one with NVIDIA Corp to leverage advanced AI technology.
與此同時，像crowdstrike這樣的公司正在採取積極的措施來增強其網絡安全能力，與NVIDIA Corp合作利用先進的人工智能技術。
