The overall safety of cloud solutions depends on the hardware and technology that have been created and are used for the daily protection of migrated resources. In the era of ubiquitous digitization and changes in the business model, proper security of sensitive corporate data is crucial for the proper functioning of enterprises.
Cloud is gaining popularity
According to the “IT Investments for the Development of Polish Companies in 2021-2022” report published by Polcom and Intel, 93% of entrepreneurs are taking steps towards digitization, a significant part of which is the migration of key resources to the cloud.
Digital transformation is a massive challenge for businesses. However, everyone agrees that there is no turning back from it now. Therefore, it is not surprising that cloud solutions – allowing for scalability and significant acceleration of IT projects – have gained popularity during the pandemic. Currently, as many as 93% of the companies surveyed by us are taking action in the area of digital transformation, and cloud solutions are an essential element of this strategy – says Marcin Gwóźdź, CEO of Polcom.
Essential security check
The range of solutions related to ensuring the proper level of security offered by the cloud is very wide. Properly protected resources enable companies not only to focus on their core business but also to maintain uninterrupted business operations. That is precisely why, when choosing a specific cloud service provider, it is worth checking the type of security measures they use to ensure the safety of resources.
Polcom’s comprehensive SOC service continuously monitors IT security incidents, allowing for almost immediate response to a hacker attack on a client’s infrastructure. For example, one of the ways to protect against such attacks is anomaly detection, which involves constant analysis of traffic and detection of unusual user behavior on the network. Anomaly detection allows for diagnosing problems that may arise from malicious software and quickly responding to threats to the continuity of IT systems in the company.
Secure data is the key
Insufficient protection of cloud resources can result in reputational and financial losses. Loss of trust from customers, costs incurred due to inadequate infrastructure security, as well as legal consequences are factors that can lead a company to irreversible damage.
