Gallarate, 18 May 2023 – Sangfor Technologies – a leading global IT infrastructure solutions company, specialized in Cloud Computing & Cyber Security – has joined the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Italy, the Italian chapter of CSA, an international non-profit association dedicated to developing and promoting best practices, training and certifications for cloud computing security.
The signature was officially placed on May 15; a decision consistent with the parent company Sangfor, already a member of CSA at an international level.
Becoming a CSA member for Sangfor means being even more involved in the cloud security market, in particular through CSA STAR, which allows companies to obtain an international certification on the reliability, security and transparency of the cloud services offered.
CSA STAR and the security governance tool CCM have been accredited by the Italian National Cybersecurity Agency (ACN) for the qualification of cloud providers for the Public Administration.
«In the new security requirements for cloud services released by ACN in January 2022, reference is made to CSA STAR certification as the highest level of security compliance, necessary to manage customer information up to the most confidential and strategic level – states Francesco Addesi, Country Manager Sangfor Italia – This is why Sangfor joins CSA with conviction, as a corporate partner, ready to adopt the guidelines and standards that are now an important point of reference for ACN regarding national cloud security. The parent company Sangfor promotes and develops consultancy, training and design services for the security of cloud platforms and services through its partners using the recommendations, standards and audit tools developed by CSA. These good practices are now also adopted by the Italian headquarters as a further element of distinction, seriousness and quality towards our customers".
Alberto Manfredi, President and Chapter Leader of CSA Italy, commented: « We are happy with Sangfor's support for our association's activities, in particular in disseminating cloud security awareness and promoting good practices and certifications, such as CSA STAR , in the supply chains of products and services for a secure cloud ».
CSA today surpassed the threshold of 500 member companies and 20 affiliated organizations; it also manages a community of more than 8000 expert volunteers. The association has activated 35 research initiatives on cloud security and coordinates over one hundred chapters at regional and national level.
