7 Cloud Security Tips
7 – Back Up Your Data
Is all your data backed up? If not, you could be in trouble. Ensure your data is
backed up in the cloud—that way, your sensitive information is safe and
accessible at all times.
6 - Perform Tests Regularly
Lesson learned, when looking for a cloud provider, make sure they are full-service so when you need to implement new technology that you are unfamiliar with they possess the ability to provide a solution and not throw the burden of design, deploy and management back onto your already overflowing plate.
Vulnerability scanning tools are
valuable because they enable you
to evaluate your cloud provider’s
level of security and ensure they are
performing consistently.
Understand how cloud security
testing works, so you can better
understand how to evaluate the
safety of your cloud environments.
5 - Protect Your Password
A recent Deloitte study indicated that 90 percent of user-generated passwords were vulnerable to
hacking. However, users that use a combination of characters, numbers, mixed-case letters and
non-alphanumeric symbols can instantly boost their cloud security levels.
4 – Use Two-Factor Authentication
When it comes to protecting data that is stored in the cloud,
adding another security layer can be crucial. Two-factor
authentication adds a step to the login process, but it can
reduce the risk of cloud security dangers becoming major
problems for you. The benefits of two-factor authentication
can further minimize the risk of cloud security issues.

3 – Deploy Encryption Tools
Are you fully aware of the benefits of
encryption? Encryption adds another layer
of security to your cloud environment. Ask
your cloud provider about encryption and
its benefits. Seek help to deploy
encryption tools, which will help reduce
your cloud security risks.
