Recursos de Software de Segurança em Nuvem

Ninguém deve se surpreender que a Amazon detenha a maior parte do mercado de computação em nuvem.

Eu me lembro—e muitos de nós podemos nos identificar com isso—de pegar chapas de raio-X de um médico e levá-las para outro para que eu pudesse colocar um gesso.

Aplicações modernas enviam e recebem uma quantidade incomensurável de dados a qualquer momento. Este fluxo de dados é alimentado por interfaces de programação de aplicações (APIs).

Nem todas as nuvens são criadas iguais, pelo menos não em termos de segurança.

A rápida adoção de serviços de computação em nuvem deu às empresas uma falsa sensação de segurança quando se trata de proteger seus dados.

In a digital age, data security is a top priority, but it can be difficult to know who exactly is  responsible for securing sensitive information. While companies may feel they have sufficiently secured their own data, those that utilize SaaS vendors in their business put their sensitive information and business data in the hands of these vendors, who store it in the cloud or on-premises at their location. There are a number of security considerations and variables a business should keep in mind, especially related to cloud security. But it's helpful to remember one simple question when considering vendors or evaluating current protection efforts: Does the country housing my data care about security? Countries that do have taken action to protect personal and business data stored in their country or region. Other efforts to protect personal information include enforcing security standards, developing national cybersecurity strategies, and providing public awareness campaigns, among others. Countries that received lower scores have done less to ensure businesses are protecting data and require less transparency between data collectors and individuals.  In a globalized world, servers could be housed in any number of countries other than the one your business or a software vendor operates in. Still, it should be considered a potential red flag if vendors operate out of extremely vulnerable geographical regions.  Every year, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) releases the results of a worldwide security survey titled the United Nations Global Cybersecurity Index (CGI). The index provides an overall security rating based on a number of factors related to legislative, organizational, technical, capacity building, and international cooperation.
