CLOUDIn

We Trust

We’ve all heard it before:

“If you move to the cloud, all of your data will be at risk!”

But is that true?

While in some cases, companies are right to be wary, like most things, not all cloud providers are created equal.

Not quite.

Cloud providers are businesses too - they put loads of money into ensuring their customers’ information is secure.

We have to remember:

they are not willing to risk their reuptation and customers

for lesser security.

For the most part,

There are a few areas to consider:

Network Security

Physical Security

Compliance

A great and secure cloud provider should be able to provide the majority

of the following security measures.

Network Security

Full Redundancy

Disaster Recovery

Strict SLAs

24/7 Monitoring

In-Flight and At-Rest Encryption

Geographic Diversity of Data

Centers

Strong Firewalls

Physical Security

Credential-Limited Access

Key Card Protocols

Biometric Scanners

On-Premises Guards

Secured Cages

Digital Surveillance and Recording

24/7 Monitoring

Background Security Checks on Employees

Environmental Controls (HVAC, fire suppression)

Compliance

A cloud provider

should meet, if not exceed, the biggest

compliance laws:

HIPAA

PCI DSS

Sarbanes-Oxley

as long as you take the appropriate steps to ensure you’re working with a legitimate, secure provider, the cloud is absolutely a viable and intelligent option for your organization.

For the most part,

you’ll experience better security than you ever had in-house.

And when you make the move,

“In cloud we trust!”
