Cloud Security: The Myth of Fortress and Its Hidden Vulnerabilities

Imagine it's 11pm on a Friday and your ERP won't start. You've trusted the cloud to keep your infrastructure running, but now it seems to have failed you. Cloud security involves more than just trusting a provider to keep your data safe. It's a complex ecosystem where data protection in the cloud and cybersecurity in the cloud intertwine to ensure your applications and data are always available and protected.

Main security risks in the cloud

One of the biggest risks in cloud security is incorrect configuration. 74% of incidents managed by Blurtek in 2024 were due to erroneous configurations in cloud environments, a problem that could be avoided with proper management of cloud infrastructure. Additionally, lack of control over secure access and data encryption are critical factors that can expose your data to external threats.

Cloud adoption in Spain is regulated by security standards and certifications such as ISO 27001, which ensures information security, and GDPR, which protects data privacy. However, many SMEs are unaware that compliance with these regulations is not automatic; it requires proactive compliance management in the cloud, something often overlooked in the digital transformation process.
