Phoenix Cloud Services: The Security Questions & Answers You Need to Know

Cloud resources are an essential part of every business’s IT infrastructure. By using the cloud, companies can transform their major capital expenditure into controllable operating costs. However, most IT professionals are confused about gaining enough control over the cloud platform and ensuring its security.

Since cloud service providers manage cloud resources, businesses don’t have enough infrastructural access to this. Due to this reason, cloud security is viewed as end-point oriented and requires advanced strategies like:

  • Secure access of data or solutions
  • Regular monitoring of system/user access points
  • In the event of unusual system/user behaviour, having a  robust alert system in place

However, maintaining an on-premise system is more complicated than end-point management. But, when your cloud resource can be accessed from multiple devices, you need to have robust monitoring policies to ensure the proper user accessibility. 

You can learn some best cloud practices from MyTek, which offers Phoenix cloud services.

Exploring Cloud Security

Small business owners are increasingly using cloud computing solutions to simplify their work processes. Many organizations set up their entire business on the cloud. Managing on-premise equipment comes with great financial risks. But are you willing to take similar risks when maintaining your hosted solutions? The calculated risk may pay off for specific companies, but for others, it could result in a disaster. Hence, cloud security is not a standalone feature of the cloud platform rather it should be a regular part of your business strategy.

How do you protect your on-premise business resources? Usually, you employ safeguards via access controls. There is a definite authentication mechanism to determine who can access your resources, when they can access them, the type of permission, and more. Though cloud services are easy to authenticate over an internet connection; this simplicity can lead to security risks in the future.

One of the best cloud security strategies that you can employ is making your cloud platforms challenging to access. Many cloud service providers use multi-factor authentication processes for signing in. With MFA, there is another step in addition to password login. The user needs to enter a randomly generated code after entering the password. Once a person follows these additional steps, they are authorized to log in to a cloud system.
