CipherCloud and the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) are teaming up to start a Cloud Security Open API Working Group to start to define protocols and best practices for implementing cloud data security as a part of a CASB framework. The group will also work on a reference architecture to help enterprises develop effective data protection models. The working group has roped in engagement from Deloitte, InfoSys, Intel Security, and SAP to begin the work of creating a vendor-neutral set of guidelines. The plan is to develop standards-based APIs that will help the use of protection measures like encryption and tokenization.”]
