Cloud Storage & Security – Keeping Your Data Safe
Welcome to Tech Tuesday!
Cloud storage has revolutionized how businesses and law firms manage data. But with convenience comes risk—so how do you ensure your sensitive information stays secure? This week, we’re exploring how to use cloud storage safely and effectively.
Best Practices for Secure Cloud Storage
Choose a Secure Provider
Our VDI services include secure, private cloud storage within a dedicated private data center—unlike larger providers (Google, Microsoft, Amazon), we sign an NDA with you, rather than making you agree to a generic Terms of Service (ToS).
This ensures your data is confidential, protected, and managed under strict security standards that fit your business needs.
Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Add an extra layer of protection beyond passwords to prevent unauthorized access.
Encrypt Your Data
Some cloud providers offer end-to-end encryption, but for extra security, use tools like VeraCrypt or Cryptomator to encrypt files before uploading them.
Control User Access
Limit who can access sensitive files. Role-based permissions ensure only authorized team members have access to critical data.
Backup Your Cloud Data
Cloud storage doesn’t replace backups! Use an external drive or secondary cloud service to prevent data loss.
Why It Matters
Your data is one of your business’s most valuable assets. Ensuring it’s secure, backed up, and protected from cyber threats helps prevent downtime, data breaches, and compliance risks. With KIT Digital’s private cloud services, you get the security, control, and peace of mind that large public providers simply don’t offer.
