Cloud-based security softwares

Data handling nowadays is very different from the past, and we can see the rapid changes of technology. And also, the capacity of its storage has become bigger to provide enough storage for our data. Indeed, it’s a very crucial and it has to be safe always.

I mentioned earlier about the rapid development of technology and about data storage, and we all know about data storing in the cloud, it’s not the cloud that we see in the sky, but it’s what we called Cloud Computing.

What is Cloud-computing then?

It is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the Internet). The name comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. Cloud Computing entrusts remote services with a user's data, software and computation.

So in short, it allows you to access and store your data without installing any third party software’s, and since it’s now on the cloud, you can access it every now and then, as long as you have an internet.

But then, we need to secure it as well, because it is now more vulnerable to threats and malwares, and we need to implement more security, knowing that cyber-crimes is very rampant nowadays. And I would say, It's Better to be safe than sorry. :)
