At Vordel we are bringing years of expertise building high-performance SOA products to address this trust deficit and security concerns related to Cloud Computing. Vordel is excited to be involved in the Cloud Security Alliance to help shape and influence best practices." Dave Cullinane Chairman at Cloud Security Alliance and Chief Information Security Officer at eBay (NasdaqGS:EBAY) said, "Cloud computing presents many exciting possibilities for enterprises but we need to encourage all security vendors to work together to provide the technology we need to secure the cloud infrastructure. We now have an opportunity to embed security right into the infrastructure and Vordel's knowledge of managing large-scale XML and SOA environments will be of great benefit to the Cloud Security Alliance advisory groups."
