Huawei said it would work with the CSA and its members "to advance their innovative efforts, such as the Trusted Cloud Initiative, to ensure that users of cloud services can have confidence in the security of their information."
Huawei said its membership was part of its commitment to developing more open, cooperative and secure communications ecosystems – linking operators to enterprises to consumers…
"Through our work with the largest global telecommunications operators, Huawei has developed extensive experience on security of information and control and we look forward to working with the Cloud Security Alliance to share that expertise to the betterment of the cloud computing industry", said Huawei’s chief security officer, John Suffolk.
The Cloud Security Alliance was formed in March 2009 by PGP Corporation, Qualys and Zscaler and has now grown to over 100 members. In addition to Huawei, the most recent new recruits are, nCircle, Sophos, Accenture and Telecom Italia.
