MetaDefender for Secure Storage protects cloud computing platforms and file storage solutions such as Amazon (AWS), Microsoft (Azure), Box, Google Drive, Cloudian and Dell EMC Isilon from cyber attacks and data loss.
Storage solution providers, large and small, are increasingly offering hybrid solutions to their customers. Those who save both in the cloud and on-premise can also take advantage of the cloud and the stationary server. The latter gives you the feeling of having the security of the data in your own hands, while the availability of the cloud data whenever and wherever you want makes you incredibly flexible. But if you save twice, you also have double the attack surface for data misuse and unauthorized access. With MetaDefender for Secure Storage from OPSWAT, IT security expert and trusted advisor ProSoft offers a solution that protects cloud-based storage and collaboration solutions as well as network-attached storage platforms from cyber attacks.
Hybrid storage solutions are used successfully worldwide. However, they also offer cybercriminals an attack surface through which business-critical corporate data is increasingly at risk. Sensitive, confidential and personal data can be stolen or inadvertently shared from two sources at once. This increases the risk of compliance violations and sometimes leads to high fines.
Float on cloud 7 with cloud storage?
Like everything in life, cloud storage has its pros and cons. They facilitate (mobile) access, sharing and collaboration. They also help to reduce operational costs, as there is no need to deploy servers or other technical and human resources. The operators also offer services such as backup and availability at a fixed price. Many cloud storage providers now have their data centers in Europe and prevent data transfer to the USA, which ensures a high level of data protection.

Read the best news from B2B CYBER SECURITY once a monthThe disadvantages of cloud storage include a poorly thought-out or not customer-adapted authorization system and, as a result, possible data misuse. In addition, there is often a lack of availability, bandwidth problems, unstable connections, a lack of transparency and insufficient protection against hacker and malware attacks. IT and security departments are rightly concerned about this critical vulnerability. According to a 1 IDC survey2020, 80% of surveyed organizations have been impacted by a cloud data breach.
