Secure Your Cloud Data
Digit FastTrack|October 2016

Though every service promises security of your data, this ‘security’ has far more facets than those which meet the eye.

Secure Your Cloud Data

Remember one of your friends’ birthday when you planted face first on the giant pizza and your best friend took a snap of that moment? Well you did ask your friend to put it safe on the cloud, so it should be fine, right? Or not?

Cloud storage and online backup have now become household terms. We use it to save our important documents which we want to make available everywhere or simply share our favourite moments with others. Cloud-first has also become a primary part of a lot of businesses strategies. The productivity ease and versatile storage capabilities make it a lucrative technology to invest in. But even with such widespread acclaim, most of us fail to consider the underlying truth about internet. Nothing is safe. Or at least not safe forever.

In the light of this revelation, encryption becomes a guardian for everyone. But the trouble is, encryption and online security have many layers to it and therefore it’s easy to get fooled into believing that your data is being kept ‘secure’. This ‘security’ could mean any level of security. Most of the popular services such as Dropbox lack substantial security measures to truly make your data private. Plus, the lack of HIPAA compliance which protects your medical information from being openly available is also not given much importance. But there is always a silver lining on the internet. Here are some services which actually provide security to your data.
