Cloud services help companies optimize costs and resources, enabling more flexible and agile operations. Still, you must also know how to use the cloud safely to take full advantage of its benefits.

The most common myths:

• The cloud is not secure enough: Today’s cloud services already offer many built-in security features, so data sharing is typically more secure in the cloud.
• Small and medium-sized companies are not at risk: Cybercriminals can, unfortunately, attack any company, regardless of size or industry. Moreover, attackers are increasingly targeting smaller companies, as their systems are generally less protected.
• A good cyber protection tool means safety: It is not enough to purchase and install the best protection solutions; later attention must also be paid to maintaining security.
• Cybersecurity is solely the responsibility of the IT department: Of course, the IT department defines the policies and guidelines that protect the infrastructure, and they deploy and operate the devices responsible for protection. However, anyone in the company can be a target, and more and more employees work from outside the office with remote access also increases the attack surface.
• IT security tools and services cost too much: Although the total costs of cloud security seem like a significant investment, the total return is faster, and the costs are much lower than the losses associated with a possible cyber-attack.
