1. Use Encryption: Encrypting data stored in the cloud is one of the most effective ways to keep it secure. This means using strong encryption protocols such as AES-256 or TLS/SSL to ensure that data is encrypted both in transit and at rest.
2. Use Multi-Factor Authentication: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an important security measure for cloud-based applications. MFA requires users to provide two or more authentication factors, such as a password, a code sent via SMS, or a biometric factor like a fingerprint, to gain access to the application.
3. Monitor Network Traffic: It’s important to monitor the network traffic of cloud-based applications to ensure that malicious actors are not attempting to access the application. This can be done using network monitoring tools such as Wireshark or Splunk.
4. Implement Access Control: Access control is an important security measure for cloud-based applications. Access control policies should be implemented to limit who can access the application and what they can do with it. This can be done using role-based access control (RBAC) or other access control methods.
5. Use Firewalls: Firewalls are an important security measure for cloud-based applications. Firewalls can be used to block malicious traffic and restrict access to the application from unauthorized sources.
