Cloud security is always an important issue globally. Over the years, we have published a lot of content on cloud security and related topics. This omnibus aims to bring you all of those valuable, informational content together so that you can access it all from a one-stop solution. Each section is linked to a detailed blog where you can find more information about the said topic. Here's what you need to know about cloud security. Let's start from the basics.
Why Cloud Security?
It's common for people to be cautious about migrating to a cloud computing solution. There are many great benefits to private, public, and hybrid cloud, but there are also perceived security threats. Instead of being a risk, cloud computing offers a solution, especially for smaller organizations that are more vulnerable to threats.
Cloud providers have some of the most robust security in IT. You need to know that when you're migrating data, you're investing in a security solution that protects your confidential information. The most important thing is that an agile and scalable service is protecting your data. The security measures put in place were created to respond to threats in the environment to prevent breaches.
Security - Public vs. Private Cloud
It isn't always obvious which solution offers the right amount of security. That's why we'll be taking a look at two of the most popular cloud offerings, public and private, and comparing their levels of security.
Opting for a public cloud means that you're enlisting a third-party provider to deliver a set of services over the internet. These services can range from processing power to storage capacity. Now, contrary to how it may seem, a public cloud doesn't lack significant security precautions. Over the years, public cloud providers have adapted and improved upon their security measures, enabling them to manage attacks that have only grown in terms of sophistication.
Private clouds are concerned. Ownership rests with a single company, acting as an extension of a traditional data center. It is a non-shared resource optimized to provide processing power and storage capacity for the various types of functions. Clients are reassured that their data complies with the necessary legislation and is inaccessible to any unauthorized persons. As the sole user, the private cloud can also be customized to meet your needs, not just where performance is concerned but also authentication.
