As technology develops, the use of the internet also increases. Internet is being
used for different purposes. One of them is Cloud Storage. The use of cloud
storage platforms for data storage has been increasing day by day. As
demand grows, the world's largest companies are trying to provide the best cloud
services.
The
services provided by such giant companies are largely encrypted and secure. However,
sometimes hackers can gain access to data centers in the cloud due to vulnerabilities
made by users.
Therefore,
it is necessary to pay special attention to the security of data in the cloud.
Today,
we are discussing issues that need to be considered for the security of data
stored in the cloud-based on the information prepared by the different largest
Companies.
What is Cloud
Data Security?
Cloud
Data Security refers to measures or actions taken to protect the data stored in
the cloud from getting unauthorized access by anyone, including hackers.
How to protect data
stored in the cloud?
You
can Take the following actions to keep your data safe in the cloud storage:
1. When
you choose a cloud service provider, choose a reliable company that can provide
reliable and quality service according to your needs and the volume of data
that may increase in the future.
2. Always
make sure that the data stored in the cloud is highly encrypted.
3. Ensure regular backup of data from cloud service providers. Also, keep a backup
of important data locally in your storage device.
4. Always
look at the security measures and put them into action which is given by cloud
service providers to prevent unauthorized access of your data.
5. Let's
use end-point security (Genuine OS, Anti-virus / Anti-malware) on our device
(Computer / Laptop / Mobile) as data can be breached/leaked due to the
weakness of the cloud user even if the cloud service provider adopts all the
security-related standards.
6. Try
to ensure the security of data by reading the documents that are available
while using the cloud service.
7. Let's
use SSL certificate websites and VPNs for secure data transfer.
8. Let's
better configure the privacy of the cloud service you use. Also, keep in
mind to add the recovery options.
9. Let's
keep the cloud service password strong. Also, ensure to use the two-factor
authentication feature enabled which is provided by the company.
108. Whenever
possible you should not keep personal sensitive details in the cloud.
11. Avoid using public Wi-Fi as much as possible when using cloud services.
12. Try
to attend regular training provided by the company on cloud data security and
cyber security for the people concerned.
13. Try
to formulate and implement a data security policy for every cloud user.
14. Always
ensure to Use access features (such as View only, Edit Restriction) when
sharing data stored in the cloud with others users.
15. Let's
make sure that any data is not deleted when cloud service/provider changes or
data migration.
