How Secure is Cloud Hosting?

<< < (2/4) > >>

While maintaining data security is becoming a prevailing concern, a secure cloud hosting infrastructure can actually increase your overall security. Cloud server comes with automatic online cloud backup featured with unlimited space, Cloud security is an important aspect for every industry to enforce security within a cloud environment. This procedure includes business continuity and data backup facility in case of cloud security rift.

In Cloud hosting, you will get security because your data is stored in the cloud, you can access it no matter what happens to your machine. And you can even remotely wipe data from anywhere so it doesn’t get into the wrong hands.

Let me know if you need any further information.

“Cloud” data is stored on hard drives (much the way data is usually stored). And yes, it's probably more secure than conventionally stored data. Each of these companies has cloud computing systems — computer servers and storage devices, connected with computer networking equipment — that span the globe.

Akshay_M:
In early cloud days, people assumed cloud was less safe than in-house data centers, then the perception sort of reversed with people seeing cloud as safer than in-house. But now after some high-profile public cloud security breaches the question is more like: “Is the cloud still really safe for my work?”

And the answer is yes, provided the customer and cloud provider set out shared responsibilities early and rigorously adhere to best practices, using automation as much as possible to take the load off stretched personnel.

Again companies have to make sure they update and patch their technology. And the cloud provider should make its infrastructure as foolproof as possible and make it difficult for customers to deploy workloads in an insecure manner.

manoharparakh:
Data stored in the cloud is almost always stored in an encrypted form that must be hacked before an intruder can read the information. But as an expert in cloud computing and cloud security, I have seen that where the keys to this encryption are kept varies by cloud storage services.

Cloud security is strict, but it is not foolproof. ... But the biggest risk with cloud storage is privacy. Even if the data is not stolen or published, it can still be viewed. Governments can legally request information stored in the cloud, and it is up to the cloud service provider to deny access.

david007:
It's reasonable to be concerned about the security of your data when it's stored in the cloud infrastructure. After all, your documents, images, and movies are saved on servers over which you have no control. You may be concerned about the vulnerability of these servers to cybercriminals.

Larger firms that provide cloud services are likely to use more comprehensive and powerful security procedures than you use to secure your home computer and gadgets.
