So what, might you ask, is Cloud Audit? Chris Hoff has a write up on the launch of the new site CloudAudit.org.
From Rational Survivability:
I’m happy to announce that the Automated Audit, Assertion, Assessment, and Assurance API (A6) working group is organizing under the brand of “CloudAudit.” We’re doing so to enable reaching a broader audience, ensure it is easier to find us in searches and generally better reflect the mission of the group. A6 remains our byline.
We’ve refined how we are describing and approaching solving the problems of compliance, audit, and assurance in the cloud space and part of that is reflected in our re-branding.
Here is the preamble from the new site.
From Cloudaudit.org:
The goal of CloudAudit (codename: A6) is to provide a common interface that allows cloud computing providers to automate the Audit, Assertion, Assessment, and Assurance (A6) of their infrastructure (IaaS), platform (PaaS), and application (SaaS) environments and allow authorized consumers of their services to do likewise via an open, extensible and secure interface and methodology.
CloudAudit is a volunteer cross-industry effort from the best minds and talent in Cloud, networking, security, audit, assurance and architecture backgrounds.
