Already a number of TCG technologies and standards - the Trusted Platform Module, Network Security and Self-encrypting Drives - today secure data, systems and networks, and all of these are relevant to the Trusted Multi-Tenant Infrastructure (TMI) effort. These technologies will be used to establish trust, exchange information and apply policy. The new TMI Work Group will focus on how we can interface various technical standards to create an end-to-end enterprise solution that is tailored to meet mission and business needs and comply with security policies within public and private business sectors.


In Cloud Security, the challenge is to:

Establish trust in the provider of IT services
Establish and monitor compliance to changing IT policy
Assess and monitor compliance to cost, policy and performance objectives
Do this in a multi-sourced, multi-supplier ecosystem
Provide a complete end-to-end set of standards to enable seamless security
Cloud Security and Trusted Multi-tenant Infrastructure (TMI) Benefits:

Assess: Enable consumers to assess the trustworthiness of supplier systems
Enable: Real-time assessment of compliance as part of the provisioning process
Monitor: Support real-time monitoring
Guidance: Provide implementation guidance
Standardize: Identify and address gaps in standards landscape to enable trust
