Cloud Security Alliance: Security Guidance for Critical Areas of Focus in Cloud Computing
European Network and Information Security Agency: Cloud Computing Risk Assessment
Once you have the basics down, there are several industry organizations and groups which...

Trend Micro asked our VP of Cloud Security, Dave Asprey, to provide his thoughts and opinions about this government plan. Here is what Dave wrote:
It’s exciting to see that the GSA is leading the way to modernize the federal government’s IT by moving to “the cloud.” However, in the rush to save money, the GSA may be repeating some mistakes that company IT departments have already made. To go to the cloud, the GSA had to...

Trend Micro CEO Eva Chen took part in a Security Experts Roundtable at the InformationWeek 500 Conference in September. She was joined by Pacific Northwest Labs’ Jerry Johnson, RSA’s Mischel Kwon, and Time Warner’s Renee Guttman who shared their thoughts with Alex Wolfe about the changing nature of threats and the challenge of securing the cloud. The panel had some interesting thoughts about about where to invest security dollars and how to securely realize the benefits of cloud computing.
