Today, the trend shows that more and more business processes move to the cloud, away from on-premises infrastructure. The most important thing is to have a team that understands what should be uploaded first and what should be uploaded later, depending on what will benefit the business the most.
In the vast world of technology, the term “cloud” has captured the attention of IT enthusiasts.
In this podcast, Rubén Hernández Méndez (specialist in security and architecture in cloud platform solutions at SYAAT, certified in NSE (Network Security Expert), and Rodrigo Hernandez Zavala (Director of Operations at SYAAT and responsible for solutions through the use and operation of the SAP platform), provide us with a clear and detailed perspective on the cloud from the Information Security point of view.
When looking for a cloud platform provider, it is important to focus on the following factors to ensure an optimal experience:
High availability
Make sure you have a Tier 3-4 category in a certified data center.
Backup Links
It is important that you have at least two backup links, which will ensure that the network and any other published services are always active and secure.
Electricity infrastructure
Autonomy and redundancy in the provision of electrical energy; verify that your provider offers battery banks and diesel generation capacity to ensure backup power to avoid continuity failures.
High
availability
Make sure you have a provider that offers high availability on add-on equipment, Layer 2 equipment, and storage. This will allow you to have a backup in case the primary server has a failure; it also grants added value, increasing the category to Tier 5.

How do you get on the cloud?
The answer is not just to move your information and data from your server to another place. It is more than that. It is necessary to understand the needs of your company and know the processes to successfully transfer the information to the servers. In addition, it is recommended that you stay up to date with the latest technology, have constant access to the Internet, and have an efficient and realistic migration plan in place at the time of transition from a traditional service to a cloud service.

Communication security is paramount. That is why it is essential to observe and understand the infrastructure required to maintain a safe and stable connection with the cloud provider and the benefits that each provider offers. With this information, the questions “why migrate to the cloud?”, and “when to do it?” will be answered.
A clear example of the importance of cloud migration is the pandemic. As a result of this change in the working life of almost all sectors of the industry, companies chose to continue their work remotely. Of course, to achieve this, they had to fearlessly climb the cloud. In this way, their collaborators could have access to the Internet and the company’s services anywhere and at any time, with the assurance that their information was completely protected and their operations up and running.
When should you move to the cloud?
When you want to refresh and grow your business infrastructure.
The cloud helps to delegate the operation of the data center and leave it in the hands of an expert team in infrastructure, communications security, backups, maintenance, updating, and protection from cyberattacks. Not to mention, being in the cloud puts you on the cutting edge of IT.
However, knowing who to delegate this important task to is the most important thing. If you are evaluating the idea of going up to the cloud, you have to consider the communication security offered by the provider, that its infrastructure is solid, and that it maintains an active, safe, and stable connection. Also, that it has a new generation firewall, such as Fortigate, which protects servers from external and internal threats. Finally, that it offers comprehensive security features as well as easy management with antivirus, IPS, and web filtering in one place.
But not only that, what you should absolutely take into account when choosing a cloud service provider is that it offers personal, comprehensive, and quality advice so that your provider can make the ideal recommendations for your company regarding the security and availability of your information as well as efficient connection mechanisms to carrying out a successful implementation and operation.
