AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud take strong steps to keep your data safe. Here’s how they do it:
-
Data Encryption:
- AWS keeps your data secure by encrypting it while it's being sent and when it's stored.
- Azure uses a strong encryption method called AES-256 to protect data that isn't actively in use.
- Google Cloud automatically encrypts your data before it gets saved.
-
Identity and Access Management:
- AWS has a system called IAM that lets you set very specific user permissions with over 950 different options.
- Azure’s Active Directory helps improve security by using something called multi-factor authentication, which adds extra steps to verify identity.
- Google Cloud’s IAM lets users have limited access based on their roles to ensure no one has more permissions than they need.
-
Compliance Certifications:
- AWS has achieved more than 90 compliance certifications, like ISO 27001, which shows they follow strict security rules.
- Azure also meets more than 90 different standards, including important ones like GDPR and HIPAA.
- Google Cloud is compliant with over 60 standards, including SOC 2 and PCI DSS.
These safety measures make sure that your important information stays protected while using cloud services.
