While most major cloud providers do a decent job of keeping data secure, the majority of business users take an upload-it-and-forget-it approach to their data security needs.
In reality, cloud providers can only protect a business's data if the business does its part by adhering to some cloud security best practices.
The first cloud security best practice for businesses to follow is to always conduct adequate due diligence when choosing cloud vendors to work with.
That's why it's an essential best practice of cloud security to insist on proper training for all users before they're given access to any critical business systems or data.
In any case, reducing the data stored on various cloud platforms simplifies everything about data security - from management, to access control, to curation - and should always be at the core of everything businesses do online.
By taking data security seriously, beginning with the four best practices laid out above, today's businesses can avoid that fate.
