Alibaba Cloud is one of the first China-based global cloud service provider to be elected to the Committee.
In statement the Committee said Alibaba was elected because of “its robust, secure and scalable cloud platform”, currently used by many global media and entertainment organisations.
The Committee is composed of members from the service provider community and will advise CDSA’s Board and Content Advisors on the new control framework and business model for application and cloud security assessments, new technology solutions and improved workflows for IP protection, security and compliance, that are reshaping the way content is produced, managed and delivered.
