Brief introduction of CSA association
CSA, the cloud security alliance, was announced on March 3, 20091. Yi Bei and ING, a large global financial services group, are the founding members of the organization. Its purpose is to provide the best security scheme in the cloud computing environment. Since its establishment, CSA has quickly gained wide recognition in the industry. At present, it has become the core force of global cloud computing security. Now, CSA has established cooperative relations with ISACA, OWASP and other industry organizations, and many leading international enterprises have become its members.

As of the writing of this article, there are 33 enterprise members, including leading international telecom operators, IT and network equipment vendors, network security vendors and cloud computing providers. It is worth noting that Lumeng Technology, a leading professional security company in China, has become the first corporate member in China and even the Asia-Pacific region. I believe that in the near future, there will be more and more well-known and emerging domestic enterprises among enterprise members.

20111110 was hosted by China branch of the international cloud security alliance, and the second summit forum of Lumeng Technology and Venus was held in Beijing. With the theme of integration, collaboration, exploration and innovation, the conference aims to promote domestic cloud security exchanges, share the experience of cloud security platform construction and application, and explore reasonable and efficient cloud computing operations.

On September 26th, 20 13, CSA and BSI, a commercial standard company famous for pursuing excellence, jointly launched the STAR certification to help enterprises stand out in the increasingly fierce competition in the cloud service market. Obtaining North American certification saves time and money, just fill out an application, provide a set of samples and pay a fee once. With CSA, you can enter these two markets in one step. CSA is a convenient testing and certification service, which can obtain different certifications in two countries without repeated testing and evaluation. This undoubtedly reduces the cost of product certification, follow-up inspection and re-inspection, saves valuable time, and also saves the trouble for manufacturers to deal with various certification bodies, thus achieving twice the result with half the effort.

The "CsA" logo is to apply to the Canadian Standards Association for registration. Only after the safety and authorization of the product are recognized by the unit can the "CsA" logo be affixed to the product.

CSA is a non-profit member sponsor, and its standards include: health care technology, oil and gas pipeline system, occupational safety, electrical products and solar energy. CSA has branches in Atlantic Ocean, Quebec, Central Plains, West China and Pacific Ocean, as well as subsidiaries and overseas representatives all over the world.

CSA standards are voluntary. Municipal, provincial and federal governments often use or refer to CSA standards in their management to formulate their own standards, rather than these standards. In this case, CSA standard becomes the reference of government norms. The government or other organizations and associations may require compliance with certain standards, or specify that certain products must be verified to prove compliance with certain standards. It depends on whether each organization wants to require the use of CSA standards and verification operations within its jurisdiction.

"CSA" mark is one of the most famous product safety identification marks in the world. Even if it is not mandatory, manufacturers in many regions regard this logo as an important basis for recommending the safety of their products to customers, and many buyers even specify to buy products with CSA logo. Recently, the manufacturer was designated by Canadian importers or buyers to obtain the CSA mark.

Therefore, logging in to apply for CSA logo can provide more credible guarantee for product safety.
