How can you add value to the Security protection? It is so hard to justify the additional cost for the security products. Selling security may look easy to sales, but they don’t have to talk to CFOs and CIOs and sometimes even beg for the funds. Once approved you know that the peace you gain, and the fact you did everything for the additional layer of security in order to protect what you cherish the most. Google suite Security is important and there are great solutions.
How do you assign a cost to the data breach? There are already models you can use, and the price varies across the industries, but all have in common that the cost you spend for security and breach prevention is nothing compared to millions spent after the breach.
G Suite Security
Cloud is no longer something to consider. Cloud use is increasing rapidly and if your organization is not using it, it’s just a matter of time before it starts. Google Suite is one of the more popular Cloud office solutions. Once you start using G Suite, the world of possibilities open. One common misconception about Google Suite is that you are limited to only Mail, Calendar, and Drive applications. But boy, if you look at the Google Suite Marketplace you will be amazed at possibilities and solutions you can integrate into your G Suite apps. You can choose anything from Accounting & Finance, Administration, ERP & Logistics to Marketing, Office Applications to Task Management. Applications can tap into Google Docs and Google Drive and give you unlimited possibilities.
One of the problems with this model is that some 3rd-party applications could be used for malicious intent. Let’s say that the owner of successful app sells the product for large sums of money. New owner can modify the application to extract information from customers documents – it can gain valuable data from all of its user base. It can also happen that one developer adds some code to the application which can be used to infect its customers.
Knowing that danger is out there, you should not fear the cloud. There are solutions which secure your data and your users. Your cloud suite can be secure!
G Suite security dangers
What are the biggest threats in G Suite? Like with any service obtaining login credentials is on the top of the list. Also, third-party applications can be used to gain access to company data. Last year ransomware was constantly in the news, yes, ransomware is a great threat to the cloud as well, so it is important to prevent it. Ransomware will encrypt company data and demand funds in exchange for decryption. Even if the company paid it is not necessary that they will gain decryption key.
But, did you know that one of the greatest dangers for the company are users? Snowden is such example. Once the user has access to confidential data, it is so easy to download the documents and save the content to their disk drives or their private Google suite. Users can also share documents with the public quite easily.
