NewCloud’s goal is to bring to the CSA their knowledge and best practices relating to Cloud security and to be as active as possible in the CSA community. “The decision to join the Cloud Security Alliance was a simple one,” says Sam Kumar, President of NewCloud Networks. “When you’re in the business of hosting valuable data, security is always on the forefront of your mind. The Cloud Security Alliance provides an arena where the best minds in this industry can collaborate and share concerns, trends and best practices for Cloud security. We look forward to sharing our knowledge and learning both with and from our peers.”

In addition to membership in the CSA, NewCloud will also join CSA’s Security Trust & Assurance (STAR) Registry, a “publicly accessible registry that documents the security controls provided by various cloud computing offerings, thereby helping users assess the security of cloud providers they currently use or are considering contracting with,” (cloudsecurityalliance.org).
