Cloud Security Best Practices for 2025

Written by WesTec on August 25, 2025. Posted in Article, Cybersecurity

Cloud storage is becoming increasingly popular due to how much physical storage space is saved and the lower cost associated with it. While cloud storage is convenient, cloud security measures should be implemented and strictly enforced to ensure that data is not compromised. Read on to learn more about cloud security best practices for 2025. 

Routine Assessments of Passwords and Access Points

Utilizing the same simple passwords on multiple sites is a recipe for disaster. Additionally, using a simple password for cloud storage accounts puts your data at a much higher risk than complex passwords. Utilizing complex, hard-to-guess passwords is a baseline measure to ensure the safety of your business’ data. 

Additionally, regularly assessing these passwords and changing ones that may have been compromised is essential. Access points should also regularly be assessed. Having a list of the devices that are signed in to your accounts makes it easily identifiable if an unrecognized device gains access.

VPNs (Virtual Private Network)

Especially when working for a large, well-known company, utilizing a VPN is essential. VPNs essentially secure your device’s connection and increase the difficulty of an unauthorized source gaining access to your business’ network. There are many different options available, and it’s important to research which is best for your business. 

Compliance and Training

Ultimately, it’s common that cybersecurity breaches happen as a result of human error in clicking scam links via email, using common passwords that can be guessed via brute force, or not following proper cybersecurity measures. Making employees aware of policies and providing regular training on new ones will ensure that your company’s data remains safe and secure in cloud storage.
