IMPLICATIONS OF CLOUD-BASED SYSTEMS BASED ON SECURITY.
Cloud-based systems are services, applications, and applications available to users
upon request through the internet from cloud computing servers. Companies employ the use
of these servers since they are work efficient. However, employing the use of these servers
has its advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages
•
Auto-replication of files and data
•
Enhanced security of the systems.
•
Data encryption.
Disadvantages
•
Extra costs involved
•
Presence of malicious insiders.
•
Loss of control.
Cloud-based providers aim at improving the system's performance in general. Cloud
computing systems allow automatic replication of any data saved in the system. The autoreplication prevents data loss in case a file is damaged or compromised in any way. When
data is keyed in and kept in the company's computers or any data storage device with access
to the server, the data is automatically backed up, which also provides safe storage. Data
replication enables the company to have all its essential documents, which help in decision
making processes and preparation of business financial statements.
Cloud-based systems are more secure compared to other system servers. The data of
the firm is stored in a database or cloud-based disk storage, which is secured with
authentication procedures. To access the server and company’s data, one requires to go
through a verification/ authentication procedure such as name, password, ID, or fingerprint
