The cloud gives you the flexibility to run your business from anywhere, the efficiency to enhance your team\u2019s performance and a strategic edge to stay ahead of competitors without a huge cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here\u2019s the thing\u2014it\u2019s not all sunshine and rainbows. Business on the cloud carries risks that cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Business owners often have this misconception that once their data is in the cloud, it\u2019s fully protected by the cloud service provider. But that\u2019s not quite how it works. Instead, it\u2019s more of a team effort, and you have a crucial role to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to securing cloud data, both the cloud service provider and the customer have specific responsibilities they are obligated to fulfill. This cloud security practice is called the shared responsibility model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if you don\u2019t know which security tasks are your responsibility, there may be gaps that leave you vulnerable without you realizing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trick to keeping your cloud secure is knowing where the cloud provider\u2019s job ends and yours begins. This starts with analyzing your agreement to understand what specific security roles are with the provider and what remains within your purview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While every cloud provider may be different, here\u2019s a simple breakdown of what you\u2019re likely to be responsible for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Your data:<\/strong> Just because your files are in the cloud doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re automatically protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What you must do:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Your applications: <\/strong>If you use any cloud apps, you are responsible for securing them as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What you must do:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.
