Every day more organizations, public, educational and private institutions include the public cloud, as part of their technological infrastructure, convinced of the benefits in data management, economy and above all information security. Being one of the current concerns of every company, from experts in cloud computing, many are committed to deploying services based on this technology with the best practices in security.

Security is a shared management model which should be reinforced with best practices and knowledge. Based on the lessons learned and experience in cloud-based projects, many have carried out implementation in conjunction with leaders in profile recruitment, to share essential practical knowledge and enhance the security management experience for cloud accounts.

Security best practices

Creating the most robust, secure and resistant infrastructure in the public cloud is one of the main objectives of this type of project.  Having the most renowned security experts and offering the best data storage and management service will never be enough without a good security strategy.  Effective care is required to ensure compliance with security protocols, especially when accessing the deployed web services.

Cybersecurity is a shared management in which it is always important to follow the recommended best practices:

• Defines the type of authorization assigned to each user that enters the cloud. Starting with configuring access to services and resources.  Configure, if possible, a second authentication factor.
• Automate security tasks in the cloud: in this way, individual configuration errors, which can occur during access by different people, are reduced.
• Constant monitoring and increased visibility of each access and actions carried out by users on the services deployed.
• Reap the benefits of the data center protection network and automatically improves your ability to meet security requirements. Similarly, automation will allow faster response to any incident or attack.
• Share the lessons learned from the best to grow with their knowledge and all the data protection services.

Data protection services

Cybersecurity is the reason for many of the services developed for the benefit of users. Some outstanding services are:

1 - Identity and Access Management (IAM) Password management, including compatible devices.  Single login for each user, governance management and centralized management of accounts, among other services.

2 - Detection through continuous monitoring tools, in charge of monitoring user activity.  Threat detection and evaluation of resource configurations.

3 - Network Protection Service and applications at checkpoints to prevent unauthorized access.

4 - Recovery fast and automated data storage in the cloud and fast incident response, besides the detection of possible faults in infrastructure security .

5 - Vision of the state of accordance of data privacy based on company best practices.
