Still a recent development, Cloud computing has been embraced. Despite its storage and access advantages, it does still need to offer the privacy and security required to maintain a reliable data service. In a short report just published, The Security Company (TSC) suggests good practice techniques to minimise security risks. www.thesecurityco.com.
Hannah Tufts, Communications Specialist with TSC says: “Creating regular back-ups is highly recommended to avoid losing irreplaceable files in the event of virus infection; and your personal cloud allows you to do just that. Storing comprehensive vaults of personal data on multiple devices surely comes with some vulnerability, however, which is why access control must be prioritised. If one device is compromised, automated cloud syncing could leave your data exposed.” For further information, visit http://www.thesecurityco.com
