What we’re about
The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) is the world’s leading organization dedicated to defining and raising awareness of best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment. CSA harnesses the subject matter expertise of industry practitioners, associations, governments, and its corporate and individual members to offer cloud security-specific research, education, certification, events, and products. CSA’s activities, knowledge, and extensive network benefit the entire community impacted by cloud — from providers and customers, to governments, entrepreneurs, and the assurance industry — and provide a forum through which diverse parties can work together to create and maintain a trusted cloud ecosystem. CSA Boston holds meetings on a variety of topics directly related to cloud security.

___________________Reducing and Mitigating the Challenges and Risks of Enterprise AI Implementation: Emerging Technical and Business Solutions from Industry and Academia
AI is reshaping industries, but with opportunity comes risk. From regulatory penalties to security breaches, the consequences of poorly implemented AI can be severe. Leaders face tough choices: rely on public LLMs, build proprietary systems, or pursue a hybrid approach, all while navigating uncharted risks.
Join the Cloud Security Alliance and Northeastern University for a FREE high-impact symposium designed for business and technical leaders determined to deploy AI responsibly. Learn directly from CSA experts, industry practitioners, and leading researchers as they share practical frameworks like the CSA AI Controls Matrix (AICM), proven risk assessment strategies, and actionable roadmaps for safe, secure, and trustworthy AI adoption.
This interactive program goes beyond theory, addressing your organization’s real-world challenges. You will also discover the Trusted AI Safety Expert (TAISE) certificate, the first credential built to equip professionals, developers, and security leaders with validated expertise in responsible AI implementation.
Seats are limited to ensure meaningful engagement with experts who understand both the technical and business imperatives of AI safety. Do not miss this opportunity to prepare your organization for the future of AI in a secure and confident way.
