Skyscape Cloud Services Supports Cyber Security Challenge UK
September 2014 by Marc Jacob
Skyscape Cloud Services Limited, the easy to adopt, easy to use and easy to leave cloud services company, has been selected to deliver infrastructure services for the Cyber Security Challenge UK, due to its experience in providing secure cloud services to the UK public sector. The Cyber Security Challenge UK (www.cybersecuritychallenge.org.uk) runs a series of national competitions - which will run on Skyscape’s assured platform - learning programmes and networking initiatives that are designed to identify, inspire and enable more UK citizens to become cyber security professionals and thereby bolster Britain’s cyber expertise.
Skyscape’s full range of assured cloud services have achieved the highest possible Pan Government Accreditation (PGA) status from CESG (The National Technical Authority for Information Assurance) - up to and including Impact Level (IL) 3 and so suitable for all data at OFFICIAL (including OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE).
Skyscape recently announced that it has joined the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), a not-for-profit organisation which aims to promote the use of best practices for providing security assurance within cloud computing, and to provide education on the uses of cloud computing to help secure all other forms of computing. Earlier this month, Skyscape was one of the first organisations to achieve certification for the government’s new Cyber Essentials Plus scheme which is designed to improve the resilience of UK businesses to common cyber security threats, and provides for verifiable independent certification of their capabilities.
