Cloud storage is more secure than commonly perceived, with redundancy ensuring data safety through multiple copies stored in different locations. Security relies heavily on user credentials, and only authorized users can access the data, which is stored in secure data centers. The document emphasizes the advantages of cloud storage, including safe sharing practices and the minimal risks of data loss.

1. CLOUD STORAGE
IS MUCH MORE SECURE THAN YOU THINK

2. INTRODUCTION
We tend to fear what we do not understand.
Especially when it comes to new technologies.
We oftentimes worry… and worry some
more… before finally embracing a new
gadget, platform, or feature and deciding to
incorporate it into our lives.
Indeed, enterprises express mixed feelings
about security in the cloud despite wide-scale
adoption. More than 90 percent of enterprises
in the United States use the Cloud, and 52
percent of small and medium-sized
businesses (SMBs) use the cloud specifically
for storage.
What makes them safe?

3. 1. REDUNDANCY.
The service typically stores at least
three copies of each piece of data,
all in different places. You need to
have all three copies disappear at
exactly the same moment (e.g. from
three separate hard drive failures)
to lose that data. After working on
Exabyte-scale storage services, we
have only seen this happen with a
relatively small (e.g. 10^-9) fraction
of data. And even that can usually
be recovered, it just takes a couple
days.

4. 2.SECURITY
Provided you take care of your
credentials (e.g. your password),
only you can access those files.
They’re sitting on hard drives on
machines in remote, physically
secure data centers. Your
connections to access that data are
generally secured so that people
can’t eavesdrop on it. The biggest
danger is how you secure your local
machine.

5. 3. SAFE SHARING
If you want to give other people
read access (or even allow them to
write it), you can. No need to make
a copy of the file, no need to mail
them a thumb drive

6. IF YOU HAVE AN ON-PREMISE
SOLUTION FOR FIVE YEARS, WITHIN
THOSE FIVE YEARS, IT MAY GET
AUDITED ONCE, WHICH LEAVES ROOM
FOR GAPS IN SECURITY TO ARISE.”
