CipherCloud Joins Cloud Security Alliance
SAN JOSE, CA, Mar 29, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
CipherCloud, a leading provider of cloud encryption gateways for
public and private clouds, today announced that it has joined the
Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) as a Corporate Member. The CSA is a
not-for-profit organization with a mission to promote the use of best
practices for providing security assurance within cloud computing,
and to provide education on the use of cloud computing to help secure
all other forms of computing.
CipherCloud is currently working with the CSA on CloudAudit, a
project designed to enable automation and integration of CSA research
into technology solutions. Additionally, CipherCloud will be involved
with the CSA's two new initiatives, Cloud Data Governance and
Innovation, designed to deliver upon the alliance's mission while
accelerating delivery of a trusted cloud ecosystem.
CipherCloud's award-winning technology, CipherCloud Gateway 2.0,
provides a single gateway as a platform to secure sensitive customer
data across multiple public and private cloud applications, such as
salesforce.com applications and Amazon Web Services, without
impacting functionality or performance. The solution uses
comprehensive security controls including strong encryption,
tokenization, activity monitoring, and malware detection to address
organizations' data privacy, residency, security, and compliance
concerns, and to accelerate cloud adoption.
"CipherCloud is providing ground-breaking new technology that
supports our initiative to improve cloud computing security," said
Jim Reavis, co-founder and Executive Director, CSA. "As a new
partner, CipherCloud has joined a committed group of security
industry leaders that is one of the key pillars of the CSA."
CipherCloud and the CSA have already begun working together to
produce two webcasts in conjunction with CSA research and white
papers. The webcast "Demystifying the US Patriot Act: What Every
Cloud Security Professional Should Know," geared toward an
international audience, will take place on April 24, 2012.
Registration is free at:
https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/376797526. The second webcast,
scheduled for April 19, 2012, "The CSA's Top Threats to Cloud
Computing-New Research for 2012," will cover updated information
since the release of the CSA whitepaper "Top Threats to Cloud
Computing V1.0." Registration is available without charge at:
https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/768434334. Both webcasts are
open to non-CSA members.
"We look forward to working with the CSA to not only expand our
footprint in the security community, but more importantly, to help
inform and educate multiple audiences on the importance of cloud
computing security," said Pravin Kothari, Founder and CEO,
CipherCloud. "The challenges to secure the cloud continue to evolve
every day, and we are on the front lines in this fight. By working
together with the CSA, we can promote the use of best practices for
securing both today's and tomorrow's cloud environments."
