Securing Your Multi-Cloud Environment

On the other side, multi-cloud solutions come with a few critical security vulnerabilities: Unlike a cloud migration in which the company chooses just one public cloud, you can’t rely on a provider’s built-in security tools. They simply won’t cover your other cloud providers’ solutions. What is built in for access control configurations for one public cloud application won’t work on another platform. You’ll have to maintain and manage your own access control. Many providers h

What the Cloud Is and What It Can Do for Your Small Business

The cloud simply refers to accessing data and using systems that are stored on the internet. Rather than housing a local backup, an on-site server, or in-house, proprietary software, each of these technologies has a cloud counterpart. You can now complete a backup online, store data in an off-site server, and pay a subscription fee to access software. While investing in the cloud pays off for bigger enterprises, it also provides some great benefits to small businesses. Here a
