PrintSINGAPORE – CA, Inc. announced it has joined the Cloud Security Alliance. As a corporate member, CA intends to help establish and promote best practices for security in cloud computing.
With identity and access management knowledge and expertise, CA will support the Cloud Security Alliance’s initiatives and working groups. The company will also provide input into the next release of the group’s Security Guidance for Critical Areas of Focus in Cloud Computing.
“CA is working with enterprise customers and cloud service providers to securely adopt and deliver cloud services. We look forward to collaborating with the CSA members to deliver guidance for meeting security concerns that challenge cloud adoption,” said Dave Hansen, corporate senior vice president and general manager, security and compliance business unit, CA.
CA demonstrated a portion of its cloud security capabilities at the Burton Catalyst conference last July. By incorporating identity and access management technologies, CA is helping its customers securely use the cloud. This includes CA SiteMinder, CA Federation Manager, and CA SOA Security Manager for various access management scenarios, and CA Identity Lifecycle Management products for provisioning, role management, and other identity management capabilities. CA also provides protection at the heart of a cloud infrastructure by controlling access to virtualization servers (hypervisors) with CA Access Control, and Internet-scalable log and event reporting with CA Enterprise Log Manager.
“CA’s expertise in identity and access management is a welcome addition to the Cloud Security Alliance,” said Jim Reavis, founder, Cloud Security Alliance. “The company’s experience working with both enterprise cloud consumers and cloud service providers gives it an important perspective on the challenges of cloud security. That insight will be valuable as we continue developing and evolving our guidance.”

For example, Port 23 (Telnet) is a favorite target for attacks observed to be originating from South Korea and Turkey, where it accounted for more than five times the number of attacks targeting the next most popular port (445 in both countries). Other instances of geography-based port targeting include observed attacks centered on Port 1433 (Microsoft SQL Server) in China and on Port 80 (WWW/HTTP) in Indonesia.
