Cloud Security

Cloud Security

Public and private cloud services, also known as multi-tenant infrastructure, are used increasingly in the enterprise and by government agencies. With their popularity come security issues that are now high priority. A number of TCG technologies and standards, including the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), network security, and self-encrypting drives can be used to provide security for systems, networks, and data. TCG also is addressing how to interface various technical standards to create an end-to-end enterprise solution that is tailored to meet mission and business needs and comply with security policies within public and private cloud networks.
