Seven security risks of fine data stored in the cloud

The three types of services under cloud computing are Iaas,paas and SaaS, provides infrastructure cloud services, platform cloud services, and software cloud services, where applications are designed by users themselves in IaaS cloud environments, and are platform-based in the PAAs cloud, while cloud software is directly available in the SaaS cloud.

But either way, cloud service data will be stored in the cloud, according to a study published by Gartner, which says there are seven security risks to storing data in the cloud:

Security risk 1. Access risk of data to unknown Superuser

With cloud computing, enterprise data is stored in the cloud and can no longer be controlled by physical control, logical control, and personnel control over access to data as it resides in the enterprise. There is a risk that super users with cloud computing providers can view and modify the enterprise's data;

Security Risk 2. Compliance Inspection Risk

The traditional compliance inspection requires the internal data to provide security, the cloud computing environment in the data stored outside the enterprise, there is no data security compliance checks risk;

Security risk 3. Unknown risk of data storage location

When you use cloud computing, you will not be able to know exactly where the data is stored, or even what country it is stored in.

Security risk 4. Risk of data not being truly isolated

While using the services provided by cloud computing, the data can be encrypted by SSL, but since cloud computing serves multiple users at the same time, your data is likely to be stored with data from other cloud customers.

Security risk 5. Data Recovery risk

While cloud providers promise their data to be safe, reliable, and not lost, the promise is only as real as it takes place, and there is no risk of recovery after data loss.

Security risks 6. Increase the risk of judicial investigation difficulties

Cloud computing also provides services to multiple enterprises while documenting the use of cloud computing by multiple enterprises, and when a particular enterprise needs to be investigated, the use of cloud-computing logs by multiple companies increases the difficulty of judicial investigations.

There may even be a risk that judicial investigations cannot be carried out.

Security risk 7. Risk of long-term availability assurance

Enterprise users must confirm that data stored in the cloud is available for a long period of time. When a problem arises, how long the user can return the data you care about.
