PRESS RELEASE
BEAVERTON, Ore., March 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Anitian Enterprise Security, the oldest information consultancy firm in the nation, announces a new service offering: the Cloud Computing Security Assessment.

"Anitian's Cloud Computing Security Assessment is the ideal way to evaluate Cloud solutions and obtain an unbiased and honest evaluation of all solutions being considered," offers Anitian President Andrew Plato. "There's a lot of hype out there about the Cloud and what it can or can't do. There's a lot of misinformation, too."
Anitian's Cloud Computing Assessment analyzes the ten primary areas at risk in a Cloud Computing environment:
1. User access, provisioning, control, and management 2. Regulatory compliance issues 3. Data security and integrity 4. Data, account, and network segregation 5. Security operations, management, and monitoring 6. Data forensics and investigation assistance 7. Data recovery and retention 8. Communication protocol security 9. Service level agreements 10. Business stability and long-term viability
