Being part of cloud computing myself (both on the sending and receiving side of things) and having been part of an information security team a few years ago, I was very pleased to come across this announcement today:
Key leaders within both the information security and cloud computing industries today announced the formation of the Cloud Security Alliance, to be formally launched at the RSA Conference 2009, in San Francisco on April 21, 2009. The Cloud Security Alliance 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 uses of Cloud Computing to help secure all other forms of computing.
