Choosing S3 storage like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure Blob Storage is a strategic choice. Especially as data volumes grow fast and disaster recovery strategies require more focus. Such an investment may reduce operational overhead and optimize costs. Then, new technical and economic perspectives follow. 99% of IT decision-makers state they have a backup strategy. And yet, 26% of them couldn’t fully restore their data when recovering from backups (according to a survey of Apricorn from 2022).

The adoption of cloud computing has become a cornerstone of modern business operations today. However, this shift brings forth significant concerns about data protection and security. Cloud security assessment plays a crucial role in safeguarding sensitive information and ensuring compliance with industry regulations. Organizations must prioritize this process to identify vulnerabilities, mitigate risks, and establish robust security measures within their cloud environments.

We’re excited to announce that Kivera, a cloud security, data protection, and compliance company, has joined Cloudflare.

Cloud security refers to the comprehensive set of measures and technologies designed to protect data, applications, and infrastructure within cloud environments. As more businesses migrate to cloud platforms, safeguarding these environments becomes critical. The shift to cloud brings efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, but given the rising trends of cyber-attacks, it also introduces new security challenges that must be addressed to ensure sensitive data remains protected.
