Cloudy with a Chance of Controversy: Iran Seeks Cloud Providers Amid Global Tensions
Iran is on the hunt for cloud computing providers fit for government work. The Information Technology Organization of Iran seeks cloud operators for a secure, ISO-compliant panel. Ironically, Iran is using US NIST standards while remaining wary of American influence. Pass their tests, and you’ll earn a cloud service rating certificate.
Hot Take:
