If you have data or applications stored in the cloud, you need a cloud security strategy and set of best practices to keep them safe.

Properly implementing cloud security has the potential to significantly reduce the risk of cyber attacks. While there are risks associated with cloud computing, it is often safer than using a local server. Cloud service providers can more easily and swiftly patch security flaws in their infrastructure than can individual businesses. However, it's possible that a single company lacks the resources necessary to consistently carry out these tasks.
