News from RSA: InformationWeek's George Hulme on The Cloud Security Alliance, Trusted Cloud Initiative and CloudAudit

The cavalcade of press coverage coming out of this year's RSA Conference is just starting to appear. One of the things that happened today was a meeting of the Cloud Security Alliance and InformationWeek's George Hulme has a great summary of two interesting initiatives coming out of that meeting.

In his article, "RSA: Toward a Trusted Cloud," Hulme describes the new Trusted Cloud Initiative and CloudAudit.

Hulme says, "I see both the Trusted Cloud Initiative and CloudAudit as an inflection point in the cloud security discussion. The industry is now moving beyond vague discussions and arguments surrounding the many security and regulatory compliance problems that arise from cloud computing – to taking concrete steps to address them."
