No matter what your business includes if you are storing data in the cloud, it is essential to consider upgrading to the most secure storage solutions. The cloud, including a environments, is secure and offers reasonable protection for your data and applications.
However, increasing security is essential if you are storing sensitive information. This includes personal information of customers and employees, credit card or payment information, or information about your business that is proprietary or intellectual property.
Private Clouds
Perhaps the most secure option for cloud storage is the private cloud environment. This is accessible only by authorized users and uses servers that are owned by the company or business, allowing unique configuration of the security system as well as access to data.
Private clouds use internal IP addresses, which means they are not searchable from outside of the cloud. This limits the chances that hackers can access the cloud, but it does not limit the risks of internal theft from an authorized user. Tracking logs can be set up to record any access, which is a strong deterrent for internal hacking problems.
Full Encryption of Data
End-to-end encryption of data, including data stored in the cloud, also adds to security benefits in public, private, and hybrid cloud solutions. Encryption prohibits unauthorized reading or use of data even with a breach.
Security-as-a-Service
Adding Security-as-a-Service or SecaaS allows you to use the expertise of data centers to add levels of security for your data. Different options are available, including DDOS protection, additional firewalls, and security information and event management solutions.
