Are we secure using the hybrid cloud?

So, right here – we would try to provide the answer to the question if we are secured using the
hybrid cloud. There is no universal answer to that question. We cannot be fully confident about
our security even if we use the private cloud. Simply, it’s the matter of good cyber defense. As
we would notice through this effort – it’s all about the computers that would provide you data,
the link that would assure that data transfer occurs and the receiving client who would access
those information. Well, if you can hack the computer – either being at its source or final
destination – and make a breach into the protocol-protected communication – it would be a piece
of cake for a skillful cyber criminal to make your cloud’s infrastructure getting more vulnerable.
In a summary, it’s all about following the good practice and managing risk at the lowest possible
level.

Some recommendations at the end

In conclusions, it’s highly recommended to backup your server’s data as well as change the
passwords with your client’s machine periodically. Many experts would point on that the main
challenge to security of current cloud’s technologies is their access control. In other words, if the
hacker makes a breach into your system – he you so easily steal all your login details. At the end,
that would allow him get an access to your confidential data being stored in a cloud’s
environment, so some researchers would suggest to put the encrypted files into your cloud’s
surrounding – in such a case.
