When there is a demand, there is a vulnerability. Cloud servers are no exception, as due to the mass adoption of cloud servers for data storage and management, it has become paramount for large and small businesses and organizations to be concerned about the data. There is a reason for mass adoption, as cloud servers are cost-effective, reliable, and fast. Still, security risks also exist due to the complexity of storing data digitally.

Why Cloud Security is Important

Over the past few years, many security breaches and data theft of cloud server platforms have occurred. Therefore, cloud security takes center stage when it comes to protecting data. Cloud security is important because it protects data from cyber-attacks. Also, businesses and services can’t afford to go down now and then due to low-security measures, so it is of utmost importance for businesses that their business continues and operates smoothly. Many businesses and services store a large amount of user data in case of data breaches and data theft. Businesses risk losing their reputation among their customers and stakeholders when such an event occurs.

However, many security measures can be taken to ensure the protection and privacy of data. Some key security measures are discussed below.

Physical Security Matters

The physical security of the cloud servers is a primary reason when looking for cloud solutions. The physical infrastructures of cloud servers matter because they have data centers, network devices, and servers.

Data Centers where servers are kept must have physical security measures. For example, access to the control system should be limited to limited persons, CCTV cameras around the premises, and security personnel so that no person can enter unauthorized.

Network Security

For network security, firewalls are a must, as they protect cloud servers from unauthorized access. Firewalls are also able to prevent malware from entering the network. Moreover, Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems can detect security threats in advance. An IDPS monitors network traffic for signs of suspicious activity and alerts security personnel if any threat is detected. Employing a VPN creates a secure connection between two or more devices over the internet, ensuring that data is transmitted securely and preventing unauthorized access.

Storage Devices Security

As storage devices at data centers are physical components, they require both physical security measures. For that, storage devices should be kept in compartments that are secure enough from unauthorized access and not vulnerable to physical damage. Also, when storage devices expire, there is a need to dispose of them properly, either by destroying them physically or wiping the storage disk with data-erasing software.

Data Encryption

Data encryption as a security measure against data protection is now central to every idea. Whether it’s a messaging app, cloud storage, or online data of users, everyone promises data encryption. The same applies to data servers as well because it converts the plaintext data into a coded form to make it more secure. However, this is different for cloud security as more complex security measures are involved in data encryption.

• Data Encryption at Rest – The process of encrypting data on cloud servers is termed data encryption at rest. Data encryption at rest can’t be accessed because of advanced encryption algorithms like Advanced Encryption Standard (AEA), even if the data is compromised. This type of data encryption is necessary because it protects data in case of physical theft.
• Data Encryption in Transit – When the data is being transmitted between cloud servers and users or just between servers, data encryption in transit encrypts the data. The very word ‘transit’’ indicates the data encryption on data in a transferring mode. Sometimes in a worst-case scenario, when the data is being transferred, it is prone to be intercepted; it cannot be read or modified. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are standard encryption protocols for data encryption in transit.

Identity and Access Management

Identity and Access Management is about managing user identities and controlling access to cloud resources. As identity is one of the key components of strong security, especially when taken in terms of cloud security. For that, different security layers are enacted to protect the data. User authorization is one aspect where access to cloud resources is given to the role within the company. User authorization is assigned through Access Control Lists (ACLs) or Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).

User Authentication is another security measure, and it is performed through passwords and biometric authentication. Multiple Factor Authentication is a two-layered security process. It always relies on the second security layer to verify the credentials, and it is useful, especially when the first layer is compromised. Two-layer security ensures the protection of data even when the first layer is compromised.

Data Backup and Recovery

An infinite amount of data is being transferred and stored on the cloud servers. Most of the data contains sensitive information that requires backup, so if the primary source of data is lost, it can be recovered through backup. The same is the case for cloud security. Data backup can be ensured by scheduling regular backups and checking on the updates and integrity of the data.

A disaster recovery plan should be in place in case of a potential data breach or malware attack. A disaster recovery plan outlines the restoration strategy and the time it takes to recover the data. Data recovery testing is all about testing the data recovery plan. Regular testing helps in identifying issues with backup systems.

Conclusion

The use of cloud servers has provided numerous benefits but has also increased the risk of cyber-attacks and data theft. As a result, organizations must prioritize security measures to protect their data and reputation. Network security, such as firewalls and intrusion detection, storage device security, data encryption, identity and access management, and data backup and recovery, are all important security methods that firms can implement to protect their data. Businesses can work easily and confidently with these security measures in place, knowing that their data is safe from any security risks.
