Cloud Security

1. 1Data security - Protecting your organisation’s data is crucial. When implemented correctly, robust data security strategies will protect your organisation’s information assets against cybercriminal threats and human error.
2. 2Cloud Governance - Cloud governance ensures that system interactions and data security is properly examined and managed. A carefully designed set of rules and protocols make up cloud governance. They are set in place to enhance data security, manage risks and keep things running smoothly.
3. 3Legal Compliance - Much like cloud governance, cloud compliance is all about complying with the regulations and legal aspects that apply to using the cloud, or any cloud-based devices. Data protection laws do not necessarily prevent your organisation from using the cloud, however, it may prevent any attempt to transfer personal information from one country to another, for example.
4. 4Identity and access management (IAM) - Identity and access management is the security procedure that enables the right individuals to access the right resources at the right times for the right reasons. Cloud authentication relates to verifying that someone attempting to log into a cloud-based platform is the person that they claim to be. The main aim of cloud authentication is to prevent the use of stolen username and passwords to access business systems targeting sensitive information. This authentication process also applies to external machines or software; authentication in these areas can be done through the use of digital certificates and APIs.
