Data Survival in the Cloud: Four Issues and How to Solve Them

Last week, a sales company in Tashkent lost data worth 5 million so'm because they didn't know how to securely store it in the cloud. When it comes to cloud security, many overlook seemingly minor issues that aren't as easy as they appear. Let's discuss these issues and how to avoid them.

1. Password Management

Password strength and management are the first line of defense in the cloud. Regional services like Payme or Click recommend complex passwords, but many companies still use simple ones. Solution: Implement password managers for users and two-factor authentication.

2. Lack of Backup

Many businesses forget or neglect to create backups of migrated data. It's crucial to establish continuous backup systems between local servers and the cloud. For example, create a backup on the first day of each month.

3. Unauthorized Access to Data

When protecting data, many improperly manage user permissions and roles, leading to unauthorized access. Solution: Limit user access by providing each with permissions aligned to their role.

4. Cloud Infrastructure Management

Mismanagement of cloud infrastructure leads to excessive costs for unused resources. Implement automated monitoring systems for timely resource optimization in the cloud.

Guide: Quick Actions

To implement these measures, review security policies, update user authentication, and implement backup programs starting today. Conduct training for employees and raise awareness about cloud security.
