Backup – The one word that clearly symbolizes the value that many organizations, especially SMBs, hold with regards to stability and security of their crucial data. Backup forms the root node of business continuity plans. There are many other factors to be taken into consideration by the SMBs in regards to storing their data- specifically the cost of storage server construction and its maintenance expenses. With business plans becoming more complex and budgets shrinking, the cost requirements behind planning, monitoring and execution tend to be unaffordable.
It’s for this reason that cloud solutions have emerged as an accountable alternative. It promises infrastructure cost efficiency, reduced human resource needs and much lower storage maintenance costs. But we need to probe further on whether the listed advantages alone is enough to assure data security?
My answer would be- An emphatic NO !
Elements of Cloud Security
There are serious issues to ponder about cloud storage:
- Your data isn’t getting stored in your place. So, What if the stored information is compromised (stolen, corrupted or copied)?
- Even if the data is encrypted and provided with a password access, what if the protection layer of such access credentials is compromised?
The solution in accordance to the issues is:
- You need to make sure that the cloud service provider is trustworthy and is fulfilling the contractual requirements like HIPAA and PCI compliances along with ISO 27001 certification.
- You need to be handle the security requirements to be supported by your environment, like for instance when it comes to accessing credentials. You need to make sure that proper Cloud security measures are implemented to avoid credential exposure to third parties.
Apart from the above points, few other essential requirements are also to be verified. They are:
- Encryption type and its efficiency in implementing security.
- Physical security measures followed by the storage provider to avoid human intrusions, natural disasters, corruptions in data centers.
