The theft of data from any business impacts the reputation and trustworthiness of the company. Every year, thousands of smaller businesses, and even some enterprise companies, are not able to withstand the harm a security breach causes.
The best way a business can avoid this type of damage is to invest in the best options in security. Here are seven reasons any business should consider cloud security:
- Data protection – the use of end-to-end encryption with Cloud Security Solutions means data is protected during the transmission process as well as in storage. Even if hackers or a third party detects data transmission, it cannot be altered or read, rending it useless.
- DDoS – thanks to the infrastructure of the cloud, Distributed Denial of Service attacks can be thwarted by the constant monitoring provided by top cloud providers.
- Constant monitoring – unlike in-house servers, data centers are constantly monitored for any unusual activity. Early detection if slight variations in data usage or access make immediate detection of threats possible.
- Full compliance – if your company needs PCI DSS, HIPAA, or banking and financial sector compliance with regulations on data storage or use, cloud security provides that level. It also adjusts with changes in regulations to keep you in compliance.
- Complete tracking – cloud security can log every attempt to access data throughout your cloud infrastructure. This is important for both external and internal security risks.
- Layers of security – cloud security is designed in layers, offering maximum protection compared to single firewalls, malware protection, or system security in place for in-house servers.
- Professional support – top providers of cloud computing solutions offer Security as a Service or SecaaS. This can include ongoing vulnerability assessments and penetration testing, constantly auditing the security to detect any issues before they are discovered by hackers.
