Cloud security threats to your business are becoming more complex, sophisticated, and difficult to detect on a daily basis. With 77 percent of cyber-attacks in 2017 involving the use of file-less malware and exploits to compromise data and/or infrastructure, it’s more important than ever to ensure the security of your company’s cloud applications.
Here are four steps you can take to improve your company’s cloud security.
Authorization
Ensuring that your employees only have access to the data required to perform their business functions can help your company reduce a significant amount of risk. Creating different access permissions within your organization can help ensure that if one of your employees is compromised, the hacker has a lower chance of gaining access to all of your customer and employee data.
Authenticate
The traditional username/password combination is no longer sufficient for identifying who is accessing your applications. In a recent report, it was discovered that only 25 passwords accounted for more than half of the list of 10 million compromised accounts. To keep your company safe in the cloud, it’s critical that your employees not only use unique, secure passwords but also use two-factor authentication.
Build Your Firewall
As your organization’s primary line of defense against cyber threats, your firewall necessitates careful configuration and a high level of ongoing maintenance. While many cloud applications provide strong security, additional cloud security measures can be applied to your applications to provide additional peace of mind.
