Online storage of sensitive data: The challenges of cloud security

The massive adoption of the Cloud for data storage is creating new cyber security issues. Businesses need to integrate secure solutions to maintain the integrity of sensitive information. While the Cloud is attractive due to its flexibility, it also presents a risk when it comes to cyber threats. It is essential to choose a secure online storage service as soon as you set up your business Cloud.

Choosing a secure, sovereign online storage solution

Companies appreciate the accessibility and scalability of data storage in the Cloud. They transfer sensitive information and confidential data online about their own business and customers. Depending on the quality of their online storage service, companies are exposed to major cyber security risks. Data theft can have disastrous consequences for your business. It is essential to choose a secure collaboration solution to ensure information remains confidential.

A secure online storage tool must provide servers located in France or Europe for data backup. These data centers are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable regulatory requirements. This ensures your data is processed correctly, and you are complying with European directives and obligations.

Better management of data access and greater user control

Many devices and users connect to the cloud to access business applications and services. This multiplicity of access points increases the risk for malicious intrusions. With a secure online storage solution, you benefit from advanced features including strict access control.

Cloud administrators have the tools they need to prioritise access for authorised users. In addition, the ability to integrate multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds a security barrier to access your data online. Better monitoring of activities in the Cloud significantly improves the protection of your data. Abnormal behaviour can be detected faster and quarantined before this leads to compromise.

Encrypting data stored in the Cloud

Secure online storage also involves end-to-end data encryption. Adopt a high-performance solution that enables your teams to manage the encryption of your data, whether in transit or at rest. Solutions developed by ERCOM provide businesses with total control over their encryption keys. Unlike an encryption service entrusted to a third party, you benefit from an additional guarantee of confidentiality for your data.

Secure online storage must be at the core of your overall cyber security strategy. ERCOM offers solutions with advanced features to support businesses. Improve the governance of your data by choosing a sovereign, regulatory-compliant tool. Whether in the Cloud or on your local servers, ensure the best protection for your services and sensitive information.
