Vote on EU cybersecurity label delayed to May

National cybersecurity experts have delayed voting on a proposed EU cybersecurity label, which would allow tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft to bid for sensitive EU cloud computing contracts. The European Union aims to implement a cybersecurity certification scheme (EUCS) that validates the cybersecurity of cloud services, assisting governments and businesses in choosing secure and trustworthy cloud vendors. However, disagreements over strict requirements for Big Tech to qualify for the highest level of the EU cybersecurity label have impeded progress. The draft scheme proposed by EU cybersecurity agency ENISA in 2020 was not voted on during the recent expert meeting. Further steps involve opinions from EU countries and a final decision by the European Commission.
