Many businesses are moving their data away from hard drives onto the cloud. However, cloud breaches are on the rise.
The sobering concern is that the vast majority of businesses don’t have any cloud security controls.
What about your business? Is your cloud data protected as much as it should be?

Here’s a look at cloud security and how we can help.
How Hackers Access Your Cloud Data
The more data stored on the cloud, the more people need access, resulting in additional passwords and further opportunities for hackers to get hold of them.
Unlike on TV, where a hacker creates a long line of code and uploads it to your cloud, it’s done differently in real life.
The most common way for a cybercriminal to access your cloud data is by using phishing emails.
Staff members may receive what appear to be legitimate emails, often of an urgent nature. The email requests that the users click on a link that takes them to a fake log-in screen, where their password is then captured.
Once inside the cloud, hackers can view sensitive information and use or sell it, putting your business at risk. They may even be able to access other accounts from inside the cloud.
