Cloud-based IT infrastructure is driven by the incredible potential that ensures us with unprecedented operational efficiency, productivity, flexibility, profitability, and agility. However, like every coin has two sides, cloud services can prove to be reliable and unreliable.<\/p>\n<p>The cloud services are susceptible to cyber crimes namely hacks. The raging debate on whether <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2018\/07\/28\/633056819\/russian-hackers-targeted-the-most-vulnerable-part-of-u-s-elections-again\">Russian Hackers<\/a> had something to deal in the sawing of American election which indirectly shrinks down the reliability on cloud security and creates the need for data integrity.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A recent survey reported that by 2020, stated that 83% of the enterprises would move to cloud services for digital transformation and better customer experience.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thus, more than half of the global enterprise will be using minimum one cloud platform, which includes not only the general information uploaded by the public but also the sensitive data derived by the cloud-based service providers including payment information, consumer data, health records, election data, employee records, and more.<\/p>\n<p>This being said, states that 71% of those who surveyed said that it&#8217;s very tough to protect this sensitive data and 51% conveyed that it&#8217;s harder to control or restrict end-user access to that data.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>As Greg Nicholas stated in ZDNet in March 2018:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>During a survey, 97% of respondents said that 60% of the data security threats,<br \/>\nto unsecured IoT devices could be catastrophic for the firm, along with being vulnerable to a ransomware attack. Also, 81% were sure that the next data breach is likely to be caused in the upcoming 24 months. These are just the staggering numbers which indicate the intensity and impact of data security threats in the business and lives of people.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cambridge Analytica Scandal about Facebook in September 2018:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The security of data should be of primary concern for every business and IT decision maker Facebook had shaken up the public&#8217;s trust, hackers gained access to over 30 million of its user\u2019s records. Hackers stole personal data about users like names, relationships, religion, birthdate, employers, search activities, check-in locations, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, data being scrutinized so actively, leaves us with a question that who shall be responsible for cyber attack shortly?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img img-responsive wp-image-6332 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/leadsrain.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cyber-Security-Attack-in-USA-1024x536.png\" alt=\"Cyber Security Attack in USA\" width=\"640\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsrain.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cyber-Security-Attack-in-USA-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/leadsrain.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cyber-Security-Attack-in-USA-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/leadsrain.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cyber-Security-Attack-in-USA-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/leadsrain.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cyber-Security-Attack-in-USA.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Maintaining Data Integrity with IP Authentication<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We keep the data security simple and hence becomes easy enough to keep it safe and concrete.
