Planned data migration

Before migrating your company’s data to the cloud, it is worth planning how this transition will be made, both to train the operators of this information (employees) and to maintain a logical organization of files and procedures.

These measures aim to prevent the loss of specific database by industry and the compromise of productivity in the organizational environment.

7. The company’s internal infrastructure must also be protected

There is no point in having the most advanced security system for cloud computing data if the company does not care about its internal infrastructure. Are there restrictions on access to the company’s machines and servers? Who can connect to the internet? Are there several networks available? Is there control over which users have access?

These are important issues that into use test to measure even when implementing cloud computing. After all, security flaws can also arise from internal weaknesses within the company.

8. Constant traffic management

It is important to constantly monitor the levels of information traffic between the company and the cloud. Traffic at unusual times or in unusual quantities may indicate a violation of the implemented security procedures.

In these cases, it is worth having an IT professional on hand, or even constant contact with the company providing cloud computing services, to check these usage patterns.

9. Social engineering: a real danger

This is perhaps one of the main dangers for those who work with cloud computing. Even though all the technical aspects of security and reliability are implemented, human errors still exist, such as carelessness with passwords and cloud access locations, for example. People interested in violating company data are aware of these errors.
