Cloud Data Storage Raises New Security Issues
Security Boulevard, Thursday, August 8th, 2024
Advancements in cloud computing have made securing data more complicated. Fortifying servers in data centers to protect sensitive information no longer provides adequate protection. The cloud has become the data repository for everything, and data security must keep pace.
The amount of enterprise data stored with cloud service providers has doubled since 2015. More than 60% of corporate data is stored in the cloud today. Half of companies store business records in the public cloud, and 89% use a multi-cloud approach, storing data in both public and private cloud systems.
In addition to data archives, cloud systems are being used to share data. Remote workers increasingly rely on shared data stored in cloud services, such as OneDrive, Google Docs and Dropbox, to do their jobs.
