Are you considering storing your company data in the cloud? You’re not alone. Spending on cloud storage is expected to rise from $2.4B to $8.7B in the next 3–5 years, with 23% of that being spent on cloud backup.

Storing and backing up data in the cloud can bring your company agility and elasticity, but first you need to know the basics of cloud security. Choosing the right cloud backup service provider is crucial to ensure adequate protection, security, and availability of enterprise data. Here are the essentials to consider when evaluating enterprise cloud backup for end user devices, for your data security success and peace of mind.

Does your endpoint backup solution protect data in transit with encryption like 256-bit SSL?

Does it protect data in store with encryption like 256-bit AES?

Has your cloud backup provider passed the requisite certifications (e.g., HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ITAR) for its data centers and operations?

Does it enable you to get a federated view across all your endpoint data, place legal holds and preserve data for eDiscovery?

Does it o�er detailed audit trails, providing insights into how, when and where regulated data is being accessed, shared, stored and deleted?

Is your cloud backup provider equipped with multiple redundant data centers across the globe, enabling customers to control which data centers are used for their data backups to ensure compliance with local data regulations?

Does your cloud backup provider o�er global deduplication?

Can administrator level parameters be set to manage the bandwidth allocated to the backup service, as well as the amount of client resource allocated to processing the client side assessment?

Can it provide local caching for bandwidth-restriced locations and high-speed backup and restores, with scheduled transfers to the cloud?

Does your cloud backup provider o�er automatic data redundancy across multiple data centers?

Does it o�er geographic backups to other regions, to ensure that data access can continue una�ected in the case of data center outages?

Does your endpoint backup solution encrypt files on devices by allowing you to enforce the use of endpoint operating systems’ built-in encryption technology?

Can administrators easily configure which files and folders are backed up to ensure that sensitive corporate data is protected without requiring full-disk encryption?

Does your solution include geo-location and remote wipe capabilities?

Does your endpoint backup solution o�er secure, easy to manage access, like simple sign-on?

Does it allow administrators to mandate that employees use a PIN to access the backup mobile app?

Does it integrate tightly with your company’s Active Directory server?
