Leonardo and Cubbit Come Together for the First Super-protected Data Cloud

Our Bureau - : Oct 1, 2023 - : 9:37 am

To develop its technologies and safeguard its capabilities, Leonardo manages about 20 million billion pieces of data. To protect the data, Leonardo, together with Cubbit, is implementing a new cloud architecture capable of ensuring both maximum security and maximum usability of the data.

The concept devises a system capable of “fragmenting” the data over multiple points in the system (nodes of the cloud network). The fragmented data is stored in many fragments so that, in the event of an attack (e.g., malware), the individual fragment becomes the first sensor of an ongoing attack.

Once the attack is detected, the node is isolated, the data fragment is deleted, and the rest of the network goes into a defensive mode, increasing its counter-offensive potential by leveraging its intrinsic supercomputing capability, thus raising a barrier that is impregnable.

Leonardo will be the first company in the AD&S (Aerospace, Defense & Security) sector to use the geo-distributed cloud technology developed by Cubbit. In the solution, data is not stored in a few centralized data centers — as is the case with traditional cloud storage. Instead, each file is encrypted, fragmented, and replicated across multiple geographic locations and can always be reconstructed in its entirety. Security is therefore ensured even in situations where one or more geographic locations may be affected, such as in the case of physical and cyber attacks or in the face of natural disasters.

Leonardo’s sites in Genoa and Chieti will be the first to be involved in the development of the partnership. Leonardo will create a distributed data lake synergistic with the central one to validate protocols that significantly reduce the need to move data from the center to the edge and vice versa. This will incorporate directly onto the data itself features for resiliency (disaster recovery) and low latency access (EDGE computing).
