Article summary

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has published a blog post concerning cloud security. The publication’s author stresses that the greatest security concern with using the cloud ‘is not whether the cloud itself is secure, but whether it is being used securely’. The writer notes that it is rare for a cloud provider to suffer a security catastrophe and the risk of such a disaster should be incorporated into disaster recovery plans. Users’ focus should remain on protecting their own data.
