Make sure all of your data is encrypted before it\u2019s\u200d stored in the cloud.\u200c This includes files, emails, images, and other forms of \u2064data. Encrypt data on your device\u200d before \u200duploading it, so that \u2063an outside party can\u2019t gain access to your \u2064data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Two: Set up \u200cMulti-Factor Authentication.<\/strong><br \/>\nMulti-factor authentication\u200d is an\u2064 extra layer of protection that you can add to \u2064your cloud \u2064account. It requires you to \u200benter your username and password, \u200bas well \u2064as an additional code\u2064 that is sent to a\u200d device of \u200dyour choice. This makes unauthorized \u2064access much\u2064 harder, as it requires two\u2062 sets\u2064 of \u200dcredentials to gain access to the\u2062 account. Here are some \u2063other steps you \u200dcan take \u200dto make \u2062your online data more secure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enable two-factor authentication wherever it\u2019s available.<\/li>\n<li>Choose\u200c and manage strong \u200bpasswords for \u200dyour accounts.<\/li>\n<li>Create\u2063 a back-up\u200c of your data, preferably offline. \u200c <\/li>\n<li>Audit your cloud \u2062accounts\u200b regularly.<\/li>\n<li>Set\u200b access \u200ccontrol levels to ensure only authorized\u2062 users have \u2064access to sensitive data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Adopting these \u200csteps can help you protect your data against cyber security threats.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2-making-your-cloud-more-secure-through-design\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2%E2%80%8B_Making_Your_Cloud%E2%81%A3_More_%E2%81%A4Secure_Through%E2%81%A2_Design\"><\/span>2.\u200b Making Your Cloud\u2063 More \u2064Secure Through\u2062 Design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes \u200cto keeping your cloud secure, it&#8217;s important to make\u2063 sure that \u200cyour cloud design is tailored to your \u200dsecurity\u200c needs. Designing a secure cloud environment requires understanding your\u2062 security requirements \u2064and how\u2063 they can \u200bbe met by design. Here are some\u200c tips to help\u2063 design a \u200dsecure cloud \u2064infrastructure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Understand your cloud provider \u2063security features:<\/strong> \u2063 Make sure you take\u2064 advantage of any security features your cloud provider offers such\u200c as \u2064identity and \u200caccess management, firewalls, encryption, and \u2063logging capabilities. Each of these features can be configured to your unique \u200csecurity requirements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plan for backups:<\/strong> Devise a good backup \u200dstrategy by anticipating\u2064 which and how much\u200d data is going to be stored\u200d on\u2063 your cloud \u2064system. \u200bMake sure you also\u200b consider \u2062backing up \u200bany custom applications you may have developed on the cloud. \u2064 <\/li>\n<li><strong>Consider \u2063the security\u2063 requirements\u200c of your applications:<\/strong> Make sure you build security\u2064 into\u2063 your applications right from the\u2062 start. Think \u200cabout what sensitive information needs to be protected and what security needs to \u2062be put \u200cin place. \u200c <\/li>\n<li><strong>Regularly review permissions:<\/strong> Keep your cloud secure by \u200cregularly\u200c checking \u200cthat only users who need \u2063access are assigned permission to \u2064do\u2062 so.
