Hello Community,
There is a new draft charter in the works for a proposed Kantara Group
focused on Cloud Identity Security. Kantara Participant Neil McEvoy is in
process of starting up a new Kantara
Initiativehttp://kantarainitiative.org/working group, called ‘
*CloudIDsec*‘ – Cloud Identity and Security Best Practices.
Here is the first draft of the proposed
charterhttp://cloudbestpractices.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cloudidsec.pdf,
that he's making available to discuss potential partnerships. Feel free to
have a read and contact him to discuss any
ideas. This will be a component part of our ongoing Canadian security
series http://canadacloud.biz/category/cloud-security-best-practices/ on
this site, and also there is a dedicated Linkedin
grouphttp://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=3825416&trk=anet_ug_hmfor
this best practice topic. Cloud
Gateway Services
Neil describes this version as having a Canadian flavour because i) he's in
Canada, and ii) a key part of the R&D agenda includes a focus on where
these Identity standards including Kantara overlap with their evolving set
for Cloud Computing too, specifically the GC Community Cloud
sethttp://canadacloud.biz/roadmap/gc-community-cloud/
.
For example for their core standards for identity authentication ITSG-31
herehttp://www.cse-cst.gc.ca/its-sti/publications/itsg-csti/itsg31-eng.htmlthe
Government of Canada has also standardized on and contributed to
Kantara. Their specific implementation is defined in this
documenthttp://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/download/attachments/45059378/CA+-+C....
(53-page PDF).
Read more and contact Neil should you be interested to support and/or join
this group once it's launched....
