How do you handle data security and privacy in the cloud?

Locked

Tags: Networking, Open Source, Security

I have a SME which I have just started and am actually looking to get cloud services as from what I know cloud is amazing! Files on-demand, anywhere access, and scalability for businesses. But with great convenience comes responsibility, especially when it comes to our data. So, do we keep our information secure and private in the cloud.

Adding on to that we are a company that is based in India and I want my Data to reside within India. I do not want to depend on external providers like AWS & GCS.

Can you suggest something suitable for my requirements. I need something at cheaper prices too.

Once in a while you find Subject Matter Experts that forget the basics about backups. Google 321 Backup to find that backup of data has been discussed for decades. The CLOUD did not change the requirements for backup.

As to privacy, once you release information on the Internet and the cloud, expecting the data to remain private is sheer fantasy. At some point the data will leak.

Then there’s HIPPA

Most individual people are happy with fiile storage offered by Microsoft (OneDrive), Google (Drive) or Apple (iCloud). What is your individual use and what did you choose?

To ensure data security and privacy in the cloud for your SME:

Choose a local provider: Opt for Indian-based providers like NxtGen, CtrlS, or ESDS to meet data residency requirements and enjoy competitive pricing.

Encryption: Use end-to-end encryption for data protection.

Access control: Implement multi-factor authentication and strict user permissions.

Regular backups: Safeguard against data loss or breaches.

For businesses offering website development, web application development, or website management services, like Devfied local providers ensure compliance and secure hosting. Additionally, services like Cloud flare can enhance security for projects involving website building services or WordPress website development.
