Cloud Security Alliance - Canada Chapter
I've decided that I'm going to start working on building the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) - Canada Chapter. There seems to be interest so I thought I would write up a quick entry to see if anyone was interested in joining the Canadian chapter.
The CSA is a fledgling organization dedicated to "promote the use of best practices for providing security within Cloud Computing, and provide education on the uses of Cloud Computing to help secure all other forms of computing." As of this posting, there are 2 official chapters and 5 chapters in development. In addition, there are several working groups:
Group 1. Architecture and Framework
Group 2. Governance, Risk Management, Compliance, Audit, Physical, BCM, DR
Group 3. Legal and eDiscovery
Group 4. Portability & Interoperability and Application Security
Group 5. Identity and Access Mgt, Encryption & Key Mgt
Group 6. Data Center Operations and Incident Response
Group 7. Information Lifecycle Management & Storage
Group 8. Virtualization and Technology Compartmentalization
Editorial Group
Educational Working Group
Solution Provider Advisory Council
It's obvious to me that the questions of governance and security (issues important to me) are not going to go away by themselves. Nor should it be left solely to industry to develop competing views/models/tools - it's simply inefficient. It behooves us, the denizens of the industry, to help in those efforts.
Please let me know if you are interested in joining the CSA - Canada Chapter by sending your coordinates (name, company, title, email, phone) to pano(dot)xinos(at)gmail(dot)com.
