CITIC Telecom CPC Becomes the First IaaS Provider to Receive New Cloud-centric ISO 27017 in Hong Kong

The cloud grants various benefits to its users,
by allowing them to flexibility utilizing the computing resources needed at any
given time. However, due to its open nature – offering various network access,
high flexibility, self-provisioning functionality and resource pooling – the
cloud information security needs become more and more complex. The demand for
compliance by certification with a globally recognized authority becomes
crucial for both customers and cloud providers to ensure data remains where it
should and risks are not taken.
