5 Effective Methods of Ensuring Cyber Security While Using Cloud Computing

Introduction

A buzzword in the field of information technology was on the tip of the tongue of every living being a decade ago.

Data Wave in the Cloud: Reconsidering Cloud Security

When organizations originally started to move data to the cloud in a meaningful way, the security conversation usually centered around one tactic – access. After all, if you could ensure that only the right people had access to a particular cloud, your data would be safe, right? Not quite.
