Organizations will be able to manage their relationships with multiple cloud services providers through a streamlined Cloud Trust Authority console. This gives organizations greater access to services and allows vendors to deliver more applications with fewer security concerns.
The Cloud Trust Authority has two initial offerings:
- Identity Service will be powered by VMware's future project Horizon. The Identity Service will enable an organization to control user access and rights to multiple cloud providers using a single sign-on directory.
- Compliance Profiling Service will use the RSA Archer GRC (governance, risk and compliance) platform. This will allow organizations to view trust profiles for various cloud services compared against a set of benchmarks compiled by the Cloud Security Alliance.
A beta of the RSA Cloud Trust Authority will be available in the second half of 2011.<//p>
