Cloud computing has quickly entrenched itself in the daily operations of both individuals and organizations. Many use services such as Gmail and Spotify without realizing that these are cloud-based technologies.
When it comes to these and other cloud services, there are always questions regarding security. Unlike legacy systems, the cloud requires that data be stored on a third party's servers, thereby removing a degree of control from the data's owner.
Speaking to SC Magazine, several industry experts recently asserted that while security is important for both individuals and businesses, it is critical for organizations to realize that they require more robust protection.
One of the key examples supporting this notion is Dropbox, the cloud-based document storage program, as Ian Turner, vice president and country manager at Intralinks, told the news source.
"For the consumer it is fine, but for a business model people want a service level agreement, as what if the service goes down? What if they lose your data?" he said.
In addition to securing a contractual agreement, many experts recommend that businesses utilize document protection technology that can control which individuals can access a given document.
