Security in Private and Public Clouds 

This post is about the security in Clouds. Mainly the post concerns about the Private and Public Clouds.

Many people believe that private clouds are more secure than public clouds. The reality is you have to concern about more than the kind of cloud you have, when it comes to cloud security. If people think that the public clouds have more security than private clouds then it is not true. People used to think like this is that the company offering the service will keep the cloud safe because so many people are using it. But there are still vulnerabilities out there that can be exploited. Most of these vulnerabilities open up because of the things done by the customers.

When considering cloud security and protecting your data we have to remember that there are many factors to be considered other than hackers. When it comes to the security of data, most people think about keeping other people out from data is the solution but they have to concern about protecting data from corruption or loss as well.

We should think that secure the cloud is a not only the responsibility of service provider but also there are things that we can do ourselves to increase the security of the cloud. Mistakes can be made at both the service provider’s level and at the level where your own employees are accessing the cloud, so it’s important to remember that there is no service that will be able to stop all intrusions. It’s true that the cloud is a powerful tool to keep everyone connected, but still we should remember to be careful about the security.
