When the concepts of network evolved to the extent of internet which allowed countless people to share and store data online the major thing which concerned people was whether the data they are uploading and sharing are secured or not. Same problem was arrived in case of cloud services Sydney. Cloud services gave companies huge amount of space for storing and uploading the data and eliminate the need of storing the data offline in hard drives. But since the data were previously stored on hard drives in computers in the buildings which was usually locked and guarded and it was very difficult for an intruder to break into the building and steal this data but since you yourself uploaded the data on internet and now anyone can access from anywhere using the credentials the question that comes in mind that is it safe to put the critical and important data online? What if there is some kind of security breach and how the cloud service providers are providing and handling it.
There are majorly two kind of security levels on which the cloud service providers need to work. First is the security which is inside the cloud which means that the cloud providers very own system needs to be secured so that it is available all the time and then there comes the security of the customers of the cloud services, the people who use the cloud as the third party software and store their data on it which means the cloud services providers also need to implement this as a feature which they need to provide their customer.
The cloud service providers therefore, implement different methods which ensure that not only the data which are stored by different users are saved but their inner infrastructure is also secured. These techniques involve the encryption, and the authentication process and apart from this the various access control are also provided to the user through which he can control who can view or edit the data. There could be privilege assigned to different users by the admin and whenever a user logs in to the system and access the cloud services then only those services are available to the user for which he has been assigned the privilege. However, all these methods and techniques make the cloud services pretty secured but it still cannot be said with certainty that the data stored online is safe from all kind of threats. The intruder could simply break the credentials by hit and trial and guess method and could log in the system without anyone noticing. See this page to find out more details.
