Cloud security can get enhanced with Cloud computing

Digital adoption is on all time high and cloud computing is emerging as a game changer and major enabler, across areas. Integrating cloud into your existing enterprise security program requires an assessment of your resources and business needs to develop a fresh approach to your culture and cloud security strategy. Cloud security is a set of policies, controls, procedures and technologies that should work together to protect your cloud-based applications and systems.

From facilitating video conferencing for hybrid workplaces and empowering smart connected devices to helping accelerated growth of AI and ML through data driven insights, Cloud Computing has come a very long way from being just a virtual data storage platform. With increasing significance of Data, Cloud computing too is fast gaining importance among both, consumers as well as software and product development companies. And while these exciting new innovations powered by Cloud continue to disrupt various sectors across the globe, it is the silent yet powerful emergence of cloud as a potential enabler to fight of phishing and cyber crimes in the digital world.

Cybersecurity and regulatory compliance become the top two biggest concerns of corporate boards, some are adding cybersecurity experts specifically to scrutinize security and risk issues. It is ironic to note here that data security remained one of the chief concerns for businesses who hesitated the shift to cloud a few years ago. And now the same technology solution is helping to not just combat cyber crime but to also become a potential platform that can empower other technologies like AI and ML to detect and prevent cyber crimes.

As the new normal takes shape, all organizations will need an always-connected defensive posture, and clarity on what business risks remote users elevate to remain secure. The need of the hour is the brands and businesses seeking to ensure a safer cloud computing experience, need to also ensure that they work with trusted industry experts, have a centralised visibility of their network with regular health checks and vulnerability tests, and are regularly providing cyber security best practices training not only employees but also other stakeholders that have access to cloud network.
