New Cybersecurity Trends In 2014 - Cloud Service Provider Hacks

By Kamil Samara


One trend that seems to be on the move in regard to cybersecurity has to do with IT risk management. Although there will always be risks involved when doing anything on the Internet, when you are working with large corporations, there are always going to be areas where infiltration as possible. It is difficult to control every aspect of your company, every computer that you own, and the employees that you employ.



Although these services are relatively new, they are slowly becoming more vulnerable to would-be hackers that are able to infiltrate their systems. As with anything, it all comes down to user names and passwords that are virtually undetectable, even using expensive and innovative hacking software. Let's look at how you can prevent cloud service provider hacks in 2014.

Why Proactive Monitoring Must Replace Static Protection Systems

On an individual level, when you only have one computer to worry about, or a single website on the web that may or may not be hacked, your level of risk is very minimal because there is very little to protect. The same is true for small companies that may have a handful of employees that have access to user names and passwords that allow them to enter in to your databases and other systems.

If you can find information on the web about these companies, evaluate what you find, and make your decision based upon price and safety. There are a few tips you can use to prevent getting hacked, ones that will continue to work for many years to come.

One of those tips has to do with making sure you use a password generating program or service where you can get passwords that will be impossible to decode. Another tip is to only work with companies that will request that you change your password from time to time, making sure that hackers will not be able to figure out how to get in. Using cloud service providers is an innovative way to keep all of your information in one central location. By using the right company, and the tips we have provided, you should be able to keep everything safe and sound.
