Cloud data security

Data Security in the Cloud

Cloud computing provides easy access to data, which is crucial as companies become less tied to their headquarters. Sales staff, company representatives, and managers are increasingly mobile and require access to information from anywhere in the world.

Security measures

Cloud data security consists of various factors, including technologies, software, and applications that protect your information stored on the internet. Protecting data in the cloud requires diligence from the local data center and appropriate infrastructure security without necessarily increasing hardware costs.

At the physical security layer, multi-level access control systems are employed. Only authorized personnel have access to the center after authentication via special cards, PIN codes, or fingerprints. Furthermore, server rooms are typically equipped with video surveillance and intrusion detection systems to identify unauthorized entry.

Another key aspect is cloud access protection. The range of implemented security measures is broad, from HSM (Hardware Security Modules) for encryption to solutions based on VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) segmentation, firewalls, proxy servers, and load balancers.

A significant advantage is the network resource administration panel, which allows for rapid management of users and network machines, as well as the distribution of specific resources.

Secure backup

Data in the cloud should be duplicated multiple times, meaning files are stored on several different disks across various machines. This solution ensures full protection against potential disk array or media failure. Furthermore, depending on the architecture, classic arrays with data replication or distributed storage systems are used, allowing data to be spread across multiple storage nodes.

The solution implemented in the Mobile Data Center also includes secure backup using cryptographic keys. This proprietary solution allows for secure data storage. Its advantages include a high-performance cloud drive storing encrypted data, two-factor authentication (2FA), encryption performed outside the client’s devices, and the utilization of cryptographic keys.
