Cloud security, a pillar for a comprehensive and effective service

Cloud computing technology allows you to access all your information at any time and from any device, without having to worry about security breaches, such as data theft or leakage.

The use of the cloud for data storage and processing has meant a great advance, although in principle some users still distrust the security it could offer. Many believe that protecting their data would be more complicated, when before it was only necessary to prevent unwanted people from accessing the network we were using.

What is cloud security?

It refers to all the technologies, policies, controls and services used to protect the data cloud, applications and infrastructure from any threat that compromises its integrity.

A good cloud service provider should strive to employ equipment and processes that are robust enough to ensure that all the information under its responsibility is properly safeguarded. 

How does cloud security work?

Cloud storage services use a network of connected data processing centers to process your data online. Each cloud solution employs models that can be customized for user needs.

Precisely, the term cloud refers to the hosted resources that are delivered to the user by means of a software. Cloud computing infrastructures, and all the data they process, are dynamic, scalable and portable.

Whether as inherent parts of workloads or dynamically through APIs and cloud management systems, security controls respond to environmental variables and accompany workloads and data both at rest and in motion. In this way, cloud computing environments can be protected against system deterioration and data loss.

Advantages of Cloud Storage

1) Increased availability: Cloud storage is quite secure and enables access to data for a longer period of time. You can store the required files, edit them or keep them safe for as long as you want, according to your needs and with a minimum risk of loss.

2) Information access control: A login and password are required to access the account. The stored documents can have levels of importance defined by a user or by the managers of a company, which prevents an unauthorized person from viewing the files.

3) Use of cryptography to access the system: The information stored in a cloud computing system is encrypted, which increases data security. Cryptography is a method that, by means of complex algorithms, prevents an invader from viewing the files.

4) Privacy and autonomy guaranteed: By adopting cloud computing, you are guaranteed complete autonomy to manage your account. Service providers do their part and take care of protecting your data. It is up to you to take care of the integrity and confidentiality of files by defining login, password, levels of importance, etc.

5) Optimized system: By opting for the cloud, you will have the ideal solution, because you will be able to perform the update processes automatically. You can also adapt the capacity according to your needs.

6) Storage of files on different servers: The information that is uploaded to the cloud is not physically hosted in a single location, but is decomposed and stored on different physical units. Therefore, in the event of a loss of integrity of any of the servers involved, the information would not be affected as it is already backed up on several servers.

CloverFile, the best option to save your files

CloverFile offers cloud storage services that meet the highest standards of security and data integrity that the market demands, allowing you to offer a comprehensive document management service suitable for all those requirements of remote accessibility and data protection, allowing you to trust that your information will always be available, to whom it should be, and safe from any external damage.

The CloverFile cloud computing solution also offers a global, flexible and low-cost infrastructure. Cloud servers have resources that prevent invasive action and data interception. Cryptography ensures that valuable information is not misused by malicious third parties (even if they have access to it, they will not be able to decode it).

Security is also manifested in the capacity with which you can manage your information assets, always in a comfortable way and with the guarantee that is available at all times and that is supported by the continuous backup of our storage spaces under high availability schemes that perform backups in a programmed and transparent way for the user.

We can assure you that our cloud-based information storage services are as secure as our specialized physical stores for the preservation of paper documentation.
