What Makes a Security Plan?

      Hello, and welcome back to my blog. This week, I would like to quickly discuss the levels that go into making a security plan. These types of plans are an important tool for IT departments and Cybersecurity Administrators to design a plan that will help protect or slow down an attack on the network.     Of course, security plans can vary from company to company; however, their purpose remains the same, with threats looming every day. With IT managers adjusting in response to the ever-changing threats, the created security plan must be designed to stop or slow down any attempt to breach network defenses. Below we will look at the principal components of a security plan and what they entail.    Separate Networks              As the name suggests, having more than one network can protect company assists from hackers and the like. The reason being is that having every computer on one network would lead to issues if that subsequent work were to fail, which would stop operati

Public vs. Private Clouds: A quick look at the Pros and Cons

-

Hello, and welcome back to my blog!

This week we will be discussing the positive and negative sides of using public and private clouds. 

     For many small businesses, turning to the cloud would seem like a daunting and challenging task. Just thinking about the many different types of Cloud services and various companies that offer them would take time to sort out what you want and how to make the change. 

    I will cover the pros and cons of using public and private clouds in the hopes that you will come away with a little bit more knowledge on the matter than when you arrived. Of course, if you would like to know more about the different types of cloud services outside of these two, I am about to discuss, here is a link to one of my earlier postings here, Link

    So, let us go and dive into what these two types of cloud services are. If you have heard of companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, you may also know that they offer paid or free cloud services. Other vendors provide similar offerings, but today well will discuss what these companies have, which are public cloud services. 

    Public clouds are what you would expect them to be. These are cloud services available to the public, and information is created and kept on third-party servers. These can be a free service or pay-per-use basis via an internet connection. A third party and users maintain the servers can scale them when needed. Also, this service model would be the first choice for businesses that have low privacy concerns. 

 The companies that I mentioned earlier have public cloud offerings, such as Google Drive, Microsoft's OneDrive, and Amazon Drive

The Pros of using a public cloud are: 

  • Easy setup
  • Ease of access
  • Scalability
  • Cost-effectiveness
  • 24/7 support

 The Cons of using a public cloud are:

  • Security and privacy
  • Performance issues

 Now that we have covered public cloud services, let us look at private clouds. 

     Private clouds share similarities with the public cloud, except that they are owned by one specific company and are also known as internal or corporate. These data center architectures will also reside within the firewall, which will provide enhanced security. While the public cloud is maintained by a third-party, the private cloud is hosted on-premises or externally by the user company. With that, only a small few will have access to the data that is kept on the server to prevent the public from using it. 

 The Pros of private clouds are:

  •  Higher security
  •  Reliability
  •  Privacy
  •  Control over sensitive information
  •  Customizable network components 

 The Cons of private clouds are: 
                   
  • It can become expensive 

     Though having a private cloud would make sense for larger companies, it would not work for small businesses to maintain in-house servers could become costly. The same companies provide private clouds as well. Amazon, IBM, Cisco, and Dell provide private cloud services along with public options. 

If you are looking for either a public or private cloud or maybe a hybrid setup, it is best to figure out which is best for you. These types of cloud services will bring benefits to your business, regardless of size. The only issues would come down to what your budget may be. 

So, do you have a preferred cloud service for personal or for your business? If so, leave a comment below! I would love to hear from you.

Outsourcing vs. Cloud Computing, a quick look

-
 This week we will discuss an exciting topic of outsourcing and cloud computing.   To understand what the two are, let’s look at both and how they benefit or hinder a company.    Outsourcing , as we come to know it, is the method where a company hires a third-party provider who then performs a specific task or function on behalf and for the benefit of a business. This method can perform functions that cloud computing cannot do or does not execute.    Cloud computing  is the practice of using a network of remote servers that are hosted over the internet to manage, store, and process data, rather than doing so on a local server or a personal computer.                                             *Cloud computing is not the same as outsourcing*  The difference between the two is that cloud computing can do computing between different machines at different locations and combine the data from one application to another.  While outsourcing is where a business hires someone to do
