Data security during cloud migration

The crucial importance of cybersecurity

Data security is an aspect that is particularly crucial for organizations, as non-compliance with requirements carries legal, financial, and reputational consequences. Information leaks can lead to a loss of customer trust, which is very difficult to rebuild. For this reason, data protection should become a priority for every company, and cloud service providers can be of assistance.

Businesses are aware of the importance that should be attached to cybersecurity. Cloud solutions can enhance the security of systems and data, and backup data centers allow for uninterrupted operations and swift data recovery after an attack or disaster. The significance of cybersecurity is further emphasized by the fact that half of the companies plan to increase their spending on IT security and continuity in 2023 – says Mariusz Juranek, Sales Director at Polcom.

Choosing a cloud environment provider

One of the most important aspects of the cloud migration process is selecting the appropriate cloud computing service provider. Special attention should be given to the security procedures employed, the technologies used, and the certifications confirming compliance with external regulators’ requirements.

When evaluating the cloud services market, companies should also ensure that the chosen cloud provider offers data encryption, which protects information from unauthorized access and theft, as well as regularly performs backups to enable swift restoration of critical systems in case of failure.

In summary, the decision to migrate corporate data to the cloud is not an easy one and requires responsible preparation, building awareness, and conducting a reference visit to the data center. It is also worth paying attention to the level of Service Level Agreement (SLA) offered by the data center, which guarantees the security and continuity of business operations.
