Choosing a cloud service and setting it up for your company can feel daunting. You might wonder: Can I trust this cloud provider with my sensitive information? What security measures do they have in place? Who is able to access the data stored in the cloud?
Concerns about cloud security and data protection are valid for everyone. Nobody wants their private information shared without permission. Fortunately, there are steps we can take to safeguard our data in the cloud.
Who Can Access Your Cloud Data
Regardless of the cloud service you select, there are only three groups with access: the Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), your company, and the people you choose to grant access to.
A Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) acts as a gatekeeper between the customer and the provider of cloud services. They implement the organization’s security policies and ensure compliance with regulations whenever someone accesses data on the cloud.
Once you have a cloud service, your company decides who can access it through authorized logins and the provider controls access as well.
