Cloud Computing Security Policies : Tips to Defend

Advertisement

Cloud Computing Security Policies is Heart of Every Business Who Uses Cloud Computing, Companies Must be Vigilant, Train Employees and Stay Updated. an aspect that can not be overlooked, especially in an age where the Internet, technology and means of communication and information have upgraded all production activities, elevating them to new levels of business interaction, but at the same time; hackers and cyber criminals turning them into easy targets.

Although, directly we never published article on Cloud Computing Security Policies, but we practically published articles on the components of Cloud Computing Security. The new generation of industrial search data, information and files are directly accessed through the holes of the safety systems of the IT infrastructure and the Web, and the resale of contacts as known as identity theft becoming more common.

In this view, therefore, it is important to secure any business, outlining with appropriate policies that safeguard corporate data and internal knowledge and at the same time by means other hardware and security software capable of intimidating even the most skilled cyber criminal. Policies and security solutions, is a route of defense against cyber criminals by wasting their resources and investment.

Cloud Computing Security Policies : Security for the Devices

 

Any computer or telecommunications device that belongs to or passing data through on the farm must be protected. All computers and laptops must have an anti-virus and anti-malware software and above all must be reliable and continuously updated and one have to expect that even the PC partners, customers or consultants who enter the enterprise perimeter need to have the same degree of safety.

If this last point is difficult to achieve, one have to think of a limbo of connectivity that allows strangers to connect and use a minimal set of services when they enter corporate walls, but never get in touch with the resources available to the interiors and still more sensitive systems must be protected from prying eyes.

We must learn to divide tasks on different machines: for example, the financial information company and customers should be stored on a server that is equipped with all necessary security measures and which is used exclusively for the processing of sensitive data. It is therefore prevent any access to email services, social or navigation which can make the protection of stored data unstable. If you provide wireless connectivity and communication devices, all data in transit or stored must be encrypted. Mobile devices (including laptops) should have a password system that enables data encryption and remote wipe option if possible.

 

Cloud Computing Security Policies : Security for Online Activities

 

In addition, it is necessary to secure the navigation mode : Always use safety protocols and VPN for external access the corporate data, force employees to use long and complex passwords (numbers, letters, symbols) which must be changed every 60 or 90 days; manage emails with services that enable a two-factor authentication via the Web, use services related to cloud computing designed for business use; restrict access to employees and guests, through a system of granular control inputs and resources through the appropriate grant policies for each type of users. Previously we wrote more on the article on Security and Firewall Policies.

Cloud Computing Security Policies : Security Explained to Employees

 

The safety comes first of all company is made up of its employees. Each policy must therefore be explained by making employees feel an active part of the process of securing corporate data. You have to explain why it is impossible to install software and app which are not certified and why is it dangerous to use social platforms and other online applications with the computer within the business network. The IT staff and those who care internal policies must also assume responsibility to explain what are the phishing email, what they can do and how to avoid them. On the other hand, the company and the IT staff must limit the roles of individual employees and computer permissions also available on a single PC, maybe even by filtering tasks and the Web sites visited.

 

Cloud Computing Security Policies : BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)

 

More and more often we talk about BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and cloud based sharing systems. Companies must keep pace with the times and try to propose solutions that facilitate employee collaboration and sharing work before employees find themselves saying the methods to implement them both, using safe software or devices.

The employee who uses Dropbox does for convenience and does not understand the danger that lurks in that platform : the company should  provide their own cloud storage space reserved sewn with internal policies. Similarly, an employee who uses Gmail just because it is convenient must be discouraged to use such. Companies should get organized with tools like Gmail for business use. In short, many times employees are forced to use services or applications which are dangerous because they are not provided with a viable alternative, which is just as easy. On the other hand, more and more companies are opting for a system of BYOD – the use the BYOD does not mean to forget the basic safety concepts set out above. Practically, more points can be added from the article Technical Aspects of Data Security in the Cloud to ensure higher safety.

Cloud Computing Security Policies is not just a static list, it is dynamic and one must stay updated. More deeper insight can be gained from series of articles Checklist for Secure Cloud Computing.
