Committed to a cloud provider can lead to significant cost savings and a more streamlined, flexible operation. However, recourse to that provider to keep your data safe can be a different matter entirely.Cloud computingThe cloud will open up a new world of opportunities for enterprises, but mixed with the opportunities a lot of security challenges need to be reviewed and resolved before committing to a cloud computing strategy. Cloud computing security challenges fall into three major categories:Data protection: your data security even when at rest, in transitUser Authentication: restrict access to data and monitor the access to dataNatural disasters and violation data: backup planData protectionMake a cloud computing strategy means the latest important data in the hands of a third party, to ensure data remains protected both at rest (data that resides on the storage media) as well as when transit is of paramount importance. The data needs to be encrypted at all times, with clearly defined roles when it comes to who will be managing the encryption key. In most cases, the only way to really ensure the confidentiality of your data is encrypted on the server hosting of a cloud computing provider is for customers to own and manage the data encryption key.User Authenticationa break in the cloud data needs to be accessed by those authorized to do so, making it important for both limit and monitor who will be accessing the data of the company through the clouds. To ensure the integrity of the authentication of the user, companies need to be able to view the access log data and a test to verify that the user only has the right to access the data. The access logs and audit trails should be secured and maintained until the company needs or legal purposes require. As with all the security challenges of cloud computing, it is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the cloud provider has implemented all the security measures necessary to protect the client's data and the access to that data.Backup plan
