(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) –- Cloud security provider Symplified (www.symplified.com) announced last week it has joined the Cloud Security Alliance (www.cloudsecurityalliance.org), a non-profit organization formed to promote the use of best practices for providing security assurance within cloud computing.
The move comes a couple weeks after Symplified’s partnership with open source cloud computing provider Cloud.com, which combines Symplified and Cloud.com CloudStack to enable users to deliver identity and access management security and integration capabilities.
The organization provides education on the uses of cloud computing to help secure all other forms of computing.
According to the press release, Symplified’s technical team is “highly regarded for its vision and thought leadership in identity management and for having created the first on-demand trust fabric that secures and facilitates adoption of the cloud.”
Symplified’s identity and access management trust fabric for the cloud has surpassed 1 million seats and is the largest provider of identity services on the Amazon EC2 platform, says the company.
The company’s management team, which holds patents for web identity, stemmed the market for Web access management with Securant and the ClearTrust product.
They also created and submitted the AuthXML specification to OASIS to help launch the SAML identity standard.
Symplified will share its expertise on cloud IAM and collaborate with CSA working groups to advance cloud security.
“We helped establish the web access management market and SAML identity federation standard from the ground up during the Internet’s last inflection point, and are looking to make the same important contributions to cloud security standards,” says Eric Olden, founder and CEO of Symplified. “Symplified has been delivering production cloud security solutions since 2007, so we are excited about bringing our years of hands-on experience to the Cloud Security Alliance.”
