    This paper introduces the main goals, deliverables and conclusions of the feasibility study ‘Elaboration of a future architectural framework for interoperable IT systems at eu-LISA impact assessment and migration and integration plan’. The aims of the study were to identify and analyse the feasibility of various options for the architectural design and development of future systems by the European Union

  • Report of the Working Group on ICT Solutions for External Borders (sea/land)

    The Report of the Working Group (WG) on ICT Solutions for External Borders (sea/land) summarises the outcomes and recommendations of the WG on ICT Solutions for Member States (MS) with External Borders (sea/land), as mandated by the EES Program Management Board. The scope of the WG was to facilitate the work towards a viable solution and a common architecture for

  • Shared Biometric Matching Service sBMS - Feasibility Study

    This study seeks to examine possible future architectures for a sBMS. The architectures were elaborated following an in-depth assessment of the current state of eu-LISA’s biometric services and the availability of modern solutions for such purposes on the market. The different architectural options were compared based on their capabilities to fulfil functional and non-functional requirements of current and future applications

  • Protecting Large-scale IT systems developed and/or managed by eu-LISA from modern threats

    Security must be a core element of all activities undertaken in an IT-focussed organisation. eu-LISA, for legislative reasons but also as a centre of excellence in the provisions of IT services, emphasises assurance of system and data security in all of its activities. Modern technology when appropriately chosen and implemented facilitates strong IT security and information assurance. Yet such is
