Cloud Security Alliance Releases (SecaaS) Implementation Guidance

London, UK, #CSASummit at RSA - October 8, 2012

The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) today announced that its Security as a Service (SecaaS) Working Group has completed its peer review process and has published implementation guidance documents expanding upon their “Defined Categories of Service” document that was first made available in August of 2011. The Working Group’s Implementation Guidance now includes peer-reviewed documentation for each of the ten service categories that were defined in the previous version. The first category, Identity and Access Management (IAM) was released in September of 2012. The following guidance documents: Data Loss Prevention, Web Security, Intrusion Management, E-mail Security, Encryption, Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery, Network Security and Security Assessments were presented at the CSA Summit at RSA Europe in London today and can be downloaded for free.

The Cloud Security Alliance would like to thank the members of the SecaaS Working Group who have contributed their expertise and countless hours to produce each implementation guidance category document.
