Cloud security standards and Wiz partner awards highlighted

ISO 27017 provides a specialized security framework designed to address the unique risks associated with cloud computing. The standard establishes specific protocols for both Cloud Service Providers and Cloud Service Customers, creating a clear division of responsibilities regarding tasks such as encryption, logging, and patching. Implementing this certification helps organizations mitigate financial risks from data breaches and improves logical isolation in multi-tenant environments.

In the sector of cloud security partnerships, Wiz announced the winners of its 2026 Partner Alliance Awards. The awards recognize organizations across the Americas, EMEA, and ANZ regions for excellence in areas such as AI security, public sector support, and multi-cloud migration. Notable winners include Accenture, which received multiple honors across different regions, as well as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Deloitte, and GuidePoint Security.
