How to keep the cloud environment safe and organized: meet CloudOps Fly!

Cloud computing is an innovative solution capable of optimizing business processes, contributing to team productivity, and even helping an organization maintain its competitiveness in the market.
However, more than adopting this technology, it is necessary to devise security strategies and ensure that employees are familiar with the new processes.
Even though cloud services provide more security due to the combination of practices that keep data protected, many times, the idea of making confidential information available online raises some apprehension on the part of managers.
For this reason, it is important to consider that cloud security involves a set of individual measures to ensure data integrity against the risks of loss, downtime, or system unavailability, and requires the implementation of some basic rules. Discover what they are in the article that the CodeBlog team has prepared for you.

1. User education

The foundation of the security pyramid is the education of users who use the cloud.
Currently, with the popularization of hybrid and remote work formats, the boundaries of accessed and shared information have crossed the limit of an organization's physical environment. In other words, with the cloud, confidential information and applications are made available from any authorized device connected to the internet. With hacker attacks becoming increasingly common and more sophisticated, it is essential to invest in protection policies, ensure employee training, the development of new processes, and the promotion of full technological adaptation.

2. Access control

Any information in the cloud is only made available to users with authorized access.
To do this, data is protected by passwords and two-factor authentication.
It is extremely important to perform frequent management of access identities and constantly analyze the actions taken by users.
In addition, to prevent hacker attacks, such as password theft or cracking, it is necessary to invest in a good antivirus, create complex passwords and change them frequently, to avoid unwanted access.

3. Backups

It is impossible to talk about protection and security in the cloud without mentioning backups. After all, they create electronic copies of all data and guarantee access to files, even if they are lost or corrupted.
With periodic backups, it is possible to recover data even in the event of system failures or instabilities, occurrences that are relatively rare, but can happen.

4. Data protection

When we mention data protection in the cloud, it is important to take into account that, even though platforms already have a robust infrastructure with the latest hardware and software technologies included, it is necessary to turn our attention to internal data protection, that is, knowing your own data, understanding the scenario, performing constant monitoring, and then applying the most appropriate protective actions, such as cryptography, access restrictions, definition of access policies, among other practices.
