Tags: Cloud

Hi All,

As you know that personal and business purposed people uses cloud data storage and transferring their data between cloud storages from one cloud to another.
Is it safe to transfer the data online as some of the files have sensitive information?

What do you think?

Topic

So far, no.

I see no need to supply examples since the failures continue to happen.

I hope your IT/CIO/CIT and such do their best and keep all data not only password protected but encrypted. Both on the cloud and during transfer but leaks continue to happen.

Do you know why?

Encryption helps to make it secure.

Hi,

Migrating to cloud storage is not a guarantee that your data is protected. Still, there may be a risk of losing your data.

To ensure the safety of your data, it needs to be encrypted both at rest and in transit. Encrypting your data reduces a lot of chances of your data breach.

In the end, the safety of your data migration totally depends on the type of cloud storage you choose. So consider everything and keep monitoring your migration process and the data migrated.

If you find anything suspicious then perform quick action to protect your data.

Secure Cloud Data

Although, it is beneficial to opt for cloud migration. However, We must ensure the 5 tips to secure our data during cloud migration.

1. We must understand the shared responsibility model before selecting the cloud server.
2. Try to adopt phase transferring. It will help the team to develop familiarity with the cloud system.
3. We should determine how to meet the requirements for storage, encryption, and backup.
4. Always try to encrypt your data, encryption helps in protecting our important data.
5. Centralizing your monitoring and use the security tools to prevent your data from hackers. Cloud connectivity increases the opportunity for hackers.

However, by effectively managing the cloud server we can protect our data.

Yes, it is safe but only if you know the term ‘Encryption’

In reply to Is cloud data migration safe?

Encryption is the top method for keeping your data safe and secure while migrating it via cloud. Any data migration without encryption is always on for hackers.
Stay Safe, Stay Encrypted

Still doesn’t seem to be enough.

Much of the data leaked is an inside job as in the people who have access to the unencrypted data.

Migration to the cloud can enhance your organization’s risk posture and security rather than making it less secure

Again, it’s unsafe.

In reply to Is cloud data migration safe?

All the migrations I’ve seen don’t have a backup plan. When the cloud is down, so is your business.

cloud security testing goals

In reply to Is cloud data migration safe?

Yes, Cloud is completely safe. Unless it is some random cloud platform that appeared from nowhere and you just signed in without making any research. Cloud data migration should only be done on a trustworthy product that has managed to meet the cloud security testing goals.

Again, it’s unsafe.

In reply to cloud security testing goals

It it was, we wouldn’t be having all these data leaks.

Remember folk, the folk that want to sell you their cloud system will always write how safe it is. The truth is, it has more problems than your old dedicated in house server.

There are some 4 key areas for your cloud migration strategy. The first and foremost is when you migrate your data to the cloud, your data needs to be encrypted both at-rest and in-transit. Data is most vulnerable when exposed to the Internet, so make sure to use secure transport protocols (like HTTPS) during any data transfers.
