HOW TO AVOID BECOMING A VICTIM

Decide if you really need cloud-based storage. Would you be better off keeping the information you’re storing in a safe or safe deposit box?

If you decide to use a cloud, only choose a provider that offers two-factor authentication and make sure you turn it on. You can identify clouds that offer 2FA at https://twofactorauth.org/#cloud.

Be sure to use a different password for your cloud accounts. Passwords should be at least twelve characters long (fifteen is even better) and include lower- and uppercase letters, numbers, and at least one special character.

If you’re a small-business owner, educate your employees about their responsibility in securing their usernames and passwords. Set up emergency protocols in response to potential breaches.

Make sure you have backups of whatever you store in the cloud, whether it’s on external hard drives or other offsite storage.

Use cloud encryption, which is critical for protection. It allows data and text to be transformed using encryption algorithms and then placed on a storage cloud.
