Before we look into the aspects of security, it is equally imperative to have a clear idea about how data is stored, managed and transported through different nodes and channels for its efficient use.
Another important point of security concern is the storage point in the cloud i.e. servers located at different places. If the proper security measures are not taken for the customer’s data stored on the servers, it is likely to be affected by the malware or the hackers. The third point of concern is the management of the data, for example – interacting with the data, copying, modifying and carryout out other operations on the data. In such activities, the data need to be in decoded shape so that it can easily be understood and processed properly – therefore, chances of security breaches are also very high.
Now, it is very crucial for the cloud hosting service provider companies, to make sure that at all points of transportation and storage, the data of the customers are well secured and well protected. The data stored on the servers should be under certain security policies and encryptions should be implemented so that the integrity of the data is not compromised.
Similarly, the transport protocols should also be highly secure and encrypted so that the data is not compromised during the process of transporting. Finally, the standard policies should be in place to clearly strengthen the security mechanism of the cloud hosting services.
