Digital Marketing Agency, According to a security consultant
involved in drafting the policy , China is planning to start rating the ‘trustworthiness’
of cloud computing service providers, particularly those bidding for government
contracts, a move that could: “… potentially shut the doors to foreign
companies.”
Zuo Xiaocdong, vice-president of the
China Information Security Research Institute said this will affect any foreign
hopeful attempting to join any government-funded projects, the most lucrative
and safest of Chinese cloud projects for foreign investors.
The vice president added: "The
basic idea of the security rating mechanism is to find trustworthy hardware,
software and service providers to ensure that the government has total control
of the entire ecosystem."
