Business Implications for Cloud Information Protection
For some organizations, cloud computing can be a hard sell, even before you come to the question of how to handle cloud-computing security. Public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, encryption, tokenization, data residency, privacy regulations – all are factors involved and the perceived effort can sometimes seem to overshadow the benefits. But just as cloud computing comes with a slew of demonstrated business benefits, so does effective cloud computing security. Included below are three specific benefits to implementing a cloud computing security system.
1. Regulatory compliance prevents costly fines.
One of the most common reasons enterprises have for investing in cloud computing security is, of course, regulatory compliance. Heavily regulated industries like finance and health care – industries that handle the most sensitive personal information – must remain in compliance with relevant regional, national, and international laws, as well as with industry-specific standards. Failure to do so can come with a high price. In fact, banks that fail to comply with the PCI DSS requirements, for example, may face fines of anywhere from $5,000 to $100,000 per month, costs that tend to get passed downstream, resulting in higher costs for all, according to the PCI Compliance Guide’s FAQ.

If you’re a developer, this post probably isn’t for you as we don’t dig into the code level nitty gritty, but it will give you a high level overview of logs, where they come from and how they get sent to a third party service.

How to Put Your Storage Cloud to Work
Cloud storage has become the preferred choice for those who want the best. The storage area is limitless and the security that it provides is the best in the market. However, that is not the reason why businesses use cloud storage. More and more people are turning to cloud storage as it offers flexibility and meets the constantly changing demands of businesses all over. Of course, the fact that it is extremely economical and easy to use is also a decisive factor. Perhaps that is why even individuals are turning to cloud storage and are finding innovative uses for cloud storage.
As a cloud can store endless amounts of data, people are using it for their personal uses and are backing up personal memories like photos, videos, voice recordings and even family histories. Millions are finding cloud storage a boon for storing all their email attachments and while free plans also offer a vast amount of features, people are willing to pay for paid storages just to keep their data safe in addition to getting customized storages. For professionals who need to organize and store their data for research, surveys and calculations, this is the perfect solution.
