The CSA is part of the STRATUS project, a six-year cybersecurity project<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) said this week that it is lending a prototype data auditing and compliance regulation tool to the STRATUS initiative, a six-year multi-million dollar cybersecurity project funded by New Zealand\u2019s Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment.<\/p>\n

STRATUS, which stands for Security Technologies Returning Accountability, Transparency and User-centric Services in the Cloud, is a project being led by the University of Waikato intends to develop a series of security tools, techniques and capabilities to help give cloud users more control over how they secure the cloud services they use.<\/p>\n

As part of the project the CSA showed how cloud data governance could be automated by applying auditing guidelines (CSA Cloud Control Matrix, ISO standards, etc.) and compliance regulations using a recently developed online tool.<\/p>\n

The organisation, which is leading the data governance and accountability subproject within STRATUS, said it would also help support STRATUS\u2019 commercialisation efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cSTRATUS\u2019 approach to research commercialisation is different from typical scientific research grants,\u201d said Dr. Ryan Ko, principal investigator of STRATUS, and CSA APAC research advisor.<\/p>\n

\u201cSTRATUS understands that for cloud security innovation to reach a global audience, it will require a platform which will allow these cutting-edge cloud services to quickly align to global best practices and requirements \u2013 a core CSA strength given its strong research outputs such as the Cloud Controls Matrix and the Cloud Data Governance Working Group,\u201d Ko said.<\/p>\n

Aloysius Cheang, managing director for CSA APAC: \u201cWe have developed a prototype tool based on our work so far, that has received positive reviews. In addition, we are working to connect STRATUS and New Zealand to the CSA eco-system through our local chapter. More importantly, we are beginning to see some preliminary results of the efforts to connect to dots to commercialisation efforts as well as standardization efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The organisation reckons it should be able to show off the \u201cfruit of these efforts\u201d in November this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
