While the cloud is “someone else’s computer,” your provider isn’t 100% responsible for security – it’s actually a shared responsibility.

This means you need to have strategies in place to prevent, detect and respond to any issues with Infrastructure-, Software-, Desktop-, Voice- or any other “as-a-Service” platform.

Start with the basics…

• Does the cloud provider have a proactive, ongoing security testing program in place?
• Can you supplement the cloud provider’s security measures with some of your own?
• Do you have backups ready if it becomes necessary to rebuild a compromised system in the cloud?
• Do you have a mass notification system in place to warn employees, partners and contractors of security issues that may impact them, and explain what they should do next?

Your applications and data should be safe in the cloud, but some precautions on your part can ensure things stay that way.

DataLink can help you navigate and secure your “as-a-Service” solutions.
