What Is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing delivers computing services—servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, intelligence—over the internet. Rather than relying on physical hardware that requires installation in a specific location, cloud computing lets businesses access these services from anywhere. This means you can store your data online and access it anytime, without worrying about transport or installation costs.
How Does Cloud Computing Work?
The cloud connects you with your data and applications using a secure virtual private network (VPN). This allows you to access your resources wherever you are located. Using the cloud helps you scale. If you have high demand, you can quickly increase your capacity.
The Risks of Cloud Computing for Small Businesses
The most significant cloud computing risks include malware infections, data breaches, and compliance violations. These risks can be mitigated by working with the certified IT professionals at TRT. We implement the proper tools and processes to reduce any potential threats to your infrastructure.
- 1) Malware infections: Malware infections can be caused by employees downloading malicious software or visiting websites that contain viruses, or even through open ports in a system left vulnerable for hackers to exploit. TRT can help protect against them by providing advanced threat detection and protection services, and regular antivirus scans for anything suspicious.
- 2) Data breaches: Hacks or breaches are often caused by weak passwords or lack of encryption on sensitive data stored in the cloud. At TRT, we use multi-factor authentication and custom encryption algorithms to secure your systems against potential threats. We also regularly monitor our clients’ data systems for anomalies that could signal an attack or data theft attempt.
- 3) Compliance violations: For companies handling sensitive information such as credit card numbers or private health records, they must adhere to specific compliance regulations to protect their customers’ data from misuse or abuse. Failure can result in hefty fines. TRT works with clients to ensure their systems comply so they can avoid any potential violations in the future.
- 4) Unexpected costs: Cloud computing allows small businesses to lower their IT costs. However, those savings can quickly disappear if unexpected expenses arise due to unplanned usage patterns or sudden spikes in demand for services like storage space and bandwidth. At TRT, we work with clients individually to design pricing models that fit their specific needs, so they don’t get hit with any surprise charges down the line.
- 5) Vendor lock-in: Vendor lock-in is a risk of using proprietary software from a single vendor that may not offer competitive features. If you want more features but don’t want to pay extra for them, you may be stuck paying more than your expected budget allows. To avoid this issue altogether, TRT works with clients on a per-project basis, so they always have options if they ever need additional technologies without worrying about being locked into long-term contracts that limit their options.
