The trend of cloud migration under the digital wave has arrived!
According to authoritative consulting firm Gartner, investment in the global public cloud sector is expected to surge by 20% in 2024, and this technology trend is reshaping the business landscape with unprecedented power. The benefits of this transformation are multifaceted: scalability, ultimate efficiency, flexibility, and cost reduction, among others.
However, data security remains one of the most concerning issues for enterprises embarking on the path of technological modernization. Why? Because the cloud environment still raises concerns and misunderstandings about privacy and data security.
Many people believe that data in the cloud is more susceptible to cyber attacks and more difficult to control. “Cloud, is it really safe?”
Currently, the vast majority of data centers managing the cloud have excellent performance and adhere to strict information security standards. Nevertheless, for enterprises embarking on cloud computing projects, continuing to be responsible for their own data protection is still a wise move.
The first thing to do is to implement a sound security architecture at the beginning of the cloud migration project, integrate necessary security standards and industry best practices, and combine technology, processes, and personnel.
What aspects should a sound cloud security architecture include?
● Firstly, data encryption is the foundation, which can protect both “static” and “in transit” information, ensuring that potential attackers cannot access the system without appropriate encryption keys. The use of multi factor authentication devices further enhances data security.
● Another key element is access control, which allows for the allocation of different levels of permissions and ensures that only authorized personnel can access specific resources and data.
● Continuous monitoring is also an important tool for ensuring information security, and real-time security monitoring solutions can quickly respond to suspicious activities.
● Of course, regular attack simulations should also be arranged to identify potential vulnerabilities in the security architecture.
● Employee training is equally crucial. The key is to provide employees with the necessary tools to make them aware of the risks that their digital behavior may bring, and to remain alert to potential traps or phishing attempts.
The emergence of AI artificial intelligence has taken information security protection to a new level. The multifaceted nature of its technology has become an indispensable means of responding to increasingly complex network attacks, capable of analyzing large amounts of data and identifying threats that we may overlook.
It is also extremely effective in real-time blocking the threat of cybercrime, and can predict the next variant of malware and other potential attack pathways through predictive technology.
More and more enterprises realize that in order to implement data protection strategies, the most fundamental thing is to rely on technology.
At present, there are specialized solutions for these challenges, such as SAP ERP public cloud, which is particularly prominent in terms of security. As a comprehensive cloud based ERP system, it provides the latest industry best practices and continuous innovation.
Unlike other solutions on the market, SAP ERP public cloud also manages technical operations including backup and disaster recovery, system maintenance, data protection, and optimal runtime to ensure users feel at ease and secure.
The latest market is releasing positive and optimistic signals. According to Genetec’s 2024 report, cybersecurity risk ranks sixth among the factors that prevent businesses from adopting cloud based security systems, while in last year’s report, this risk ranked first.
Nevertheless, the challenges faced by cloud data security remain enormous. Enterprises must be prepared and prioritize their information protection strategies.
Continuously improving awareness, professional training, and implementing best security practices are crucial for enterprises to successfully complete their digital transformation.
