According to the Web Host Industry Review, the Cloud Security Alliance and information technology (IT) security firm Symplified are set to join forces in an effort to resolve concerns regarding cloud security.

"Symplified has been delivering production cloud security solutions since 2007, so we are excited about bringing our years of hands-on experience to the Cloud Security Alliance," Eric Olden, CEO of Symplified, told the news source.

The Cloud Security Alliance, a nonprofit whose mission is to better refine cloud security measures, paired up with the experienced IT company with the hopes that this collaboration will lead to more secure standards and applications for cloud users, states the media outlet.
