How the Cloud Eliminates Your Top Three Data Security Risks

You are a business owner who has their doubts about the cloud’s data security. We get it.

The thought of migrating all of your company’s mission critical data to a relatively new piece of intangible technology named after a weather phenomenon traditionally associated with doom and gloom is a scary concept. The reality is that you have nothing to fear.

There are outside forces and internal practices threatening to bring doom and gloom to your business each day, from which the cloud can protect you. Continue reading to learn how cloud-powered data storage eliminates your three biggest security risks.

The Elements

For all of the forecasting capabilities and climate control afforded by modern technology, we are frighteningly susceptible to the elements. If you store your data in physical filing cabinets or in-office devices, your business is just one flood or fire away from losing everything. Recent history provides a sobering example of how slim your chances of recovery are. Nearly 30% of small businesses destroyed in Hurricane Sandy were forced to close their doors for good.

The cloud floats high above the elements that threaten to destroy the physical realm. Migrate your company’s data to the cloud in the best of times. It may be the only thing salvageable in the worst of times.

Human Interference

The 9 to 5 workday has been replaced by a corporate environment that requires employees to have access to company data at all times. You understand this and supply employees with laptops, tablets, and other gadgets to help them achieve peak productivity, regardless of location.

Makes sense, but only if disparate device data backs up to a central, cloud-based server. With the cloud, a lost or stolen device does not equate to a lost or stolen data set. Better yet, access to cloud-stored information can be easily adjusted to fit specific projects and organizational structure.

Technical Difficulties

The security of your data is not only compromised by the possibility of human error, but mechanical error as well. If the computer on your desk is the only way to access certain documents, what will you do if you turn it on one day to find the blue screen of death?

Replacing a broken piece of technology is a hassle, but retrieving data lost to device failure may be impossible—unless of course your data resides in the cloud. So, how about that migration?
