It is safe to say that cloud computing is driving the next frontier of technology. In the business world, the influence of cloud technology has been nothing short of revolutionary. The ability for workers to access files, apps, and collaborate with one another easily from remote locations has led to an increase in productivity and reduced business cost among other things. However, not all companies are gravitating to the cloud, and one of the main reasons for this is security.
Putting your data on the cloud involves ceding some control over it. And many organizations are concerned about their sensitive data getting into the wrong hands. Fears over the security of data stored on the cloud have been heightened due to the recent high-profile hacking incidents. But this is no reason not to benefit from the vast potential of cloud computing. There are many security measures that businesses and individuals can take to protect their data on the cloud. That is why data privacy and security in cloud computing is essential.
Cloud data security measures
- Using an antivirus software: This will help snuff out malware on your cloud data and prevent hackers from even getting a chance to access your data.
- Using Multi-Authentication: No matter how strong your password is, it is susceptible to being cracked. This is why you must opt for a cloud storage service provider that provides the option for multi-authentication. This will make it harder for unauthorized persons to gain access to your cloud platform.
- Test Your Security: There is no better way to determine if your defenses are ready than to put them to the test. You can hire ethical hackers for the job. This will not only highlight the flaws in your cloud data security but also give your ideas on how to fix them.

Encryption: cloud computing and data security
Although cloud storage platforms like Google Cloud encrypt the data that you store on their servers, the protection is inadequate. There are many loopholes that hackers can exploit to access your data.
For example, third-parties can grab your files while they are in transit or when employees download them to their devices. Also, your cloud storage service providers cannot be prevented from scouring through your files since they have the encryption keys.
However, with the encrypted cloud storage tools like FileCloud, you can be guaranteed complete protection.
Encrypted cloud storage like FileCloud can go a long way to improve the security of cloud computing. FileCloud on-premise solution will give you complete access and any unauthorized user or even FileCloud as a service provider cannot access without appropriate permissions.
Encryption is arguably the best way to guarantee data security in cloud computing.

Conceal Your Data: Data Privacy and Security
Short of encryption, another way to hide your vital data from unauthorized persons is to mix it into a sea of fake data.
This is another elaborate method to implement, but it is worth it if your data is highly sensitive. Concealing your data in the cloud involves mixing it up with a large amount of fake data. The goal of this is to deceive people who gain access to your cloud platform into believing that the entire database is made up of false data.
For this strategy to be successful, you must be able to distinguish your data from the phony bunch. Also, your data must be carefully hidden in the midst of the false data to camouflage it perfectly.
