(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — On-demand IT compliance and security solutions provider Alert Logic (www.alertlogic.net) has sponsored the launch of the SecureCloudReview.com Blog (www.securecloudreview.com), which will provide best practices in cloud security and compliance for IT leaders and practitioners.
Alert Logic chief executive officer Gray Hall, and co-founder and chief technology officer Misha Govshteyn as well as guest security and managed IT infrastructure experts will offer their insights on the risks and rewards of cloud computing on the site, launched Tuesday.
“As pioneers of the hosting industry, we have seen the return to centralized computing evolve over the past dozen years from an interesting concept, to reality, to a large-scale investment in pursuit of mainstream cloud computing solutions,” Hall said in a statement. “The world will continue to move in this direction for many years and perhaps decades. As entrepreneurs and business operators in the IT security industry, we know that for cloud computing solutions to become viable for mainstream business applications, security is key.”
Both Hall and Goyshteyn previously co-founded and led hosting companies VeriCenter and Insync, respectively. Their involvement in SecureCloudReview.com will help current and prospective cloud professionals better understand cloud security as a key element in their overall cloud computing strategy. Hall and Goyshteyn will tap their network of security and hosting industry experts as well as consumers of cloud security and compliance solutions to offer additional opinions and best practices for the SecureCloudReview.com audience.
“SecureCloudReview.com is focused on the key steps we can take to accelerate the maturing of cloud computing solutions to the point where they are a fit for enterprise needs, particularly from a security point of view,” Hall said. “Managed hosting companies and other types of service providers are bringing new and improved cloud computing solutions to market in 2010. Each of these developments is an important piece of this exciting puzzle. In this blog we want to ask questions, discuss alternatives, and help shed some light on this emerging space.”
This is just the latest effort Alert Logic has taken in its continued effort to spark important discussion about the cloud. In pursuit of this goal, Alert Logic is one of the sponsors of the WHIR’s networking event in Houston on Thursday, February 18, 2010, where industry executives, solution providers and corporate decision makers can meet face-to-face in a casual environment.
