Moving to any type of technology should involve considering the options for secure collection, use, and storage of sensitive data. This may include personal and payment information for customers, employees, and vendors, or it may include sensitive or proprietary information for the company or business.
To address these issues, businesses can select different security features and cloud options. These options include choosing a public, private, or hybrid cloud environments. Within each of these options, different features are available to protect data and provide the security your business needs based on industry standards and requirements.
Security-as-a-Service
One of the options offered by cloud solution providers is Security-as-a-Service or SecaaS. These solutions are designed to work with your IT security requirements and to meet the needs of the business. Different features from web application firewalls, to security information management and security event management, can be developed, deployed, and managed by the provider.
Other important security features to consider under the SecaaS option is a DDoS attack. A Distributed Denial of Service attack is a common method used by cyberhackers and criminals to use a flood of malicious traffic to a server and network to halt all essential and business-related traffic. While these attacks do not create a security breach, they can be used to damage a company’s reputation or to set the groundwork for a strategic breach once the server comes back online.
Specialized Security
Companies or businesses that manage sensitive information such as customer personal identification information, financial information, or medical information use hybrid or private clouds. These cloud solutions offer enhanced security that meets or exceeds the required protocols for those industries.
These cloud environments have additional protection such as private IP addresses, enhanced security protocols, and complete control of security software by the business.
