A service that lets you store files and data online instead of keeping them only on your device. When used securely, it can help protect your information, reduce risks, and limit unauthorized access.

Poor configuration or unsafe use of cloud storage can lead to: 

• Unauthorized access to your accounts 
• Data breaches and the exposure of sensitive information 
• Serious privacy violations 
• Financial or professional losses 
• Statistics indicate that 70% of cloud breaches are caused by misconfigurations, showing that many of these incidents happen because of human mistakes in setting up security settings. 

Example 

A folder containing passport copies or financial data is set to ‘public sharing,’ allowing anyone with the link to access it without a password. 

• Use strong and unique passwords for each account 
• Enable two-factor authentication to prevent breaches 
• Encrypt your data before uploading it to the cloud 
• Use a VPN when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks 
• Use trusted cloud service providers 
• Keep encryption enabled at all times 
• Review security settings and permissions regularly
