Need to Increase Security? Move Your Data to the Public Cloud
Blog post from New Relic
Contrary to traditional beliefs, storing sensitive data in the public cloud may be safer than keeping it behind a company's firewall due to the robust security measures implemented by cloud providers. These providers prioritize data security as a core business principle, investing heavily in advanced security protocols and procedures and employing expert teams dedicated to safeguarding data. By leveraging the tools and best practices offered by cloud providers, businesses can create a secure environment for their data, benefiting from the shared expertise and mutual motivation to prevent security breaches. In contrast, managing security in an on-premises data center is solely the responsibility of the company, which may lack the specialized knowledge and resources available in the cloud. This partnership with cloud providers offers a compelling option for businesses seeking to enhance data security without solely relying on internal capabilities.
