In the modern business landscape, many companies are discovering the advantages of using cloud servers. They’re cost-efficient, easy to deploy, and provide virtually limitless computing power. But as with any technological tool, cloud servers come with their own set of risks. At Systemic Digital, Calgary’s premier managed services provider, we’ve noted an alarming trend: improperly secured cloud servers becoming entry points into companies’ networks.
The Rising Threat to Cloud Infrastructure
According to recent statistics, 41% of businesses that experienced a cyber attack in 2021 reported that it came through their cloud server infrastructure, a figure that has been increasing by 10% year on year. With the convenience and scalability of cloud servers, it’s easy to overlook the essential task of securing them.
The Risk of Free Services
While the allure of free cloud services may seem too good to resist, it’s crucial to remember that “free” often comes at a cost, typically in areas like security. Instead, opting for enterprise-level cloud services can provide not just robust performance but also enhanced security features.
Prevention is Better than Cure
It’s an unfortunate reality that no system can ever be 100% secure. But with the right precautions, you can dramatically reduce your risk and safeguard your business operations. By choosing secure cloud services, regularly updating and patching your systems, and adhering to recommended security practices, you make it that much harder for a cybercriminal to compromise your business.
