The Dark Side of Cloud: Tackling Data Security Challenges
Manage episode 442981206 series 2548283
As organisations increasingly migrate to cloud environments, they face a critical challenge: ensuring the security and privacy of their data.
Cloud technologies offer many benefits, including scalability, cost savings, and flexibility. However, they also introduce new risks, such as potential data breaches, unauthorised access, and compliance issues.
With sensitive data stored and processed off-premises, maintaining control and visibility over that data becomes more complex. As cyber threats continue to evolve, robust data protection strategies are essential to safeguarding information in the cloud.
In this episode, Paulina Rios Maya, Head of Industry Relations, speaks to Sergei Serdyuk, VP of Product Management at NAKIVO, about the factors driving cloud adoption, the importance of having a robust disaster recovery plan, best practices for data protection, and the challenges of ensuring compliance with regulations.
Key Takeaways:
- Cloud adoption is accelerated by low barriers to entry.
- Scalability in cloud environments is easier than on-premises.
- Data in the cloud is vulnerable and needs protection.
- The shared responsibility model places data protection on the user.
- A comprehensive disaster recovery plan is crucial for businesses.
- Regular testing of disaster recovery plans is essential.
- Data protection strategies must include regular reviews and updates.
