The cloud is one of the most secured ways to store information

Businesses usually have one main concern when considering online accounting software: cloud security and backup. With your data stored on external server, you want to be sure it is safe.  The cloud is one of the most secured ways to store information.

Cloud Computing Security

As a small business owner, you might be concerned about a cloud service provider storing your data.
For example, using cloud software, if your laptop is stolen , no one can access your data unless they have a login to the online account.  With cloud software, this is where the data lives, as opposed to your hard drive.

In the event of natural disaster or fire, being in the cloud means business productivity doesn’t need to be affected because there is no downtime.  All of your information is safely and securely stored off site.  As long as you have access to any computer or mobile device connected to the internet, you are back up and running.

Software updates can be developed and delivered faster and more easily in the cloud.  This means you don’t need to worry about installing the latest version and you will get access to new features instantly.

Security is a fundamental part of any enterprise application and especially so for the online accounting software like eFolio Accounts which holds your accounting information.

Cloud security is an evolving sub-domain of computer security, network security and information security.  It refers to broad set of policies, technologies and controls deployed to protect data, applications and the associated infrastructure of cloud computing.

Cloud computing often called SaaS, or ‘Software as a Service’ is a new way to access, use and pay for a huge range of business support systems.  It has quickly become an extremely popular and accepted model all around the world.
