Cloud Security Alliance
For more information on Cloud Computing Security, a good resource is the Cloud Computing Alliance, a “non-profit organization formed to promote the use of best practices for providing security assurance within Cloud Computing, and provide education on the uses of Cloud Computing to help secure all other forms of computing”. The list of founding members includes names from companies like Dell, PGP, McAfee, Sun, and a host of other recognizable names.
They also have a Google Group set up for discussion that anyone can view and/or participate.
