Safety in the Clouds

February 24, 2023 / Melody Smith / Comments Off on Safety in the Clouds

Organizations of all sizes are increasingly reliant on cloud computing. Unfortunately, this increased usage makes cloud computing platforms a target for cyberattacks. World Economic Forum brought this information to us in their article, “Why the cloud is the new rainmaker for cybersecurity.”

Cybersecurity in cloud computing environments is a multi-faceted endeavor, involving best practices in user access and privileges, hardware and software security, virtualization, firewalls, and other processes used to protect data and infrastructure.

Cloud security is a subset of cybersecurity, devoted to securing cloud computing systems. Cloud security encompasses the policies, hardware and software, best practices, techniques, procedures, and processes used to maintain the integrity and security of cloud data, infrastructure, applications, and systems.

An important part of cloud security is testing for potential vulnerabilities and trying to find security weaknesses. By seeking out possible exploits and fixing these weaknesses, companies increase their security. Misconfigured cloud computing environments are one frequent cause of exploits.

Data security – being sure of having all the necessary tools and resources to protect and utilize data – has never been more important.
