☁️ Cloud Security Best Practices 🔐

The cloud keeps your data accessible and scalable — but security is still your responsibility.
Here’s how to protect your business and personal information in the cloud:

🔸 1. Use Strong Access Controls
Grant the least privilege needed for each user. Disable unused accounts quickly.

🔸 2. Turn On Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Require MFA for every login — especially for admins and critical apps.

🔸 3. Encrypt Everything
Always encrypt data at rest and in transit. Use managed keys or bring your own encryption keys for added control.

🔸 4. Monitor and Audit Regularly
Review access logs, alerts, and unusual activity across your cloud dashboards.

🔸 5. Backup Critical Data
Keep offline and offsite backups. Ransomware can reach the cloud, too.

🔸 6. Stay Compliant
Follow frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR — compliance helps build customer trust.

💡 Remember:
The cloud provider secures the infrastructure — you secure your data and identities.
