    Since regulations are constantly changing, businesses should keep enforcement at the forefront of their minds. In the cloud, where compliance is a critical aspect, you can effectively meet these requirements.

    FREMONT, CA: There are many perceptions about the public cloud, the most common of which is that it poses a higher security risk to your data and makes you more vulnerable to security breaches. It's uncertain where this incorrect notion stemmed from, but it seems that many executives don't understand the full scope of public cloud protection.

    While the advantages of cloud computing are widely recognized and understood, such as cost savings, flexibility, and productivity, many CIOs have yet to utilize its capabilities fully. This is most likely due to apprehensions about the dangers of using public cloud services.

    Here are three misconceptions about cloud security:

    Public Cloud Lacks Real Security

    The protection of the cloud is constantly improving. Most cloud service providers are more likely than their clients to have more data encryption functionality and protection protocols in place. These cloud service providers have experts on staff, and data is normally safer in their possession than it is with in-house administrators. The cloud uses a multi-layer security approach that is built into the infrastructure, making it very secure.

    Compliance Needs are Not Met

    Since regulations are constantly changing, businesses should keep enforcement at the forefront of their minds. In the cloud, where compliance is a critical aspect, you can effectively meet these requirements. This is because providers are vigilant in ensuring that a company follows the most recent regulations.

    Not all issues are foreseen before they occur. New technology vulnerabilities, compromised passwords, and employee/insider misbehavior are all problems that require the use of an auditor method to identify. These issues have the potential to cause serious issues and vulnerabilities for the company. The bottom line is that the public cloud is not the problem when it comes to data breaches or enforcement problems.

    Public Cloud is Easily Breached

    This uncertainty about the public cloud arises from a complex problem with data breaches. According to recent findings in Alert Logic's e-book, the best way to combat these vulnerabilities is to segment each program in its own VPC (Virtual Private Cloud), which dramatically reduces the blast radius of every single breach. On the other hand, on-prem apps are much more vulnerable than public-facing apps, depending on the type of attack.
