3 Tips to Keep Your Cloud Server Secure

Every day, more and more businesses are trusting cloud-based servers with important data and information. There are numerous reasons for this growing trend, chief among them are the various benefits that cloud servers and storage provide–flexibility, the ability to work on-the-go, and the ability to collaborate on various projects with multiple people at one time are just a few examples of those benefits. Many believe that increased security is also an advantage to cloud-based services. But the truth is that servers of any type are only safe insofar as they are protected and secured properly.

Defense Strategies

In general, the platform on which data is stored is less important than the security strategy implemented to protect it. At Galalee Software Solutions, we want your business and data to be as secure as possible. That’s why we have assembled 3 tips to keep your data safe.

• Understand your specific system and its needs. It is fairly common for individuals to implement security strategies around traditional or cloud-based systems without understanding which types of problems they are attempting to address. Defining your strategy and goals upfront will save time and heartache later on.
• Keep in mind that it is more important to control how data is accessed than which platform it is stored on. Examine your system carefully and note any weaknesses or vulnerabilities. These are the most likely places where threats can infiltrate your system/network.
• Once you have implemented your security strategy, you should absolutely initiate vulnerability testing to ensure that your security protocols hold up under pressure. It does no good to have the best strategy on paper if it doesn’t hold up in real world conditions. The only way to know if your system is secure is to test it.
