Security Service
Various security measures are needed to protect Cloud Servers from ever-increasing threats, such as the most recent viruses and intrusions.
Security can mean a lot of different things, depending on who's hosting your Cloud Servers. Security could mean that the servers are just sitting in a concrete building with limited access. Or, it may mean that the servers are sitting behind a firewall that's not even configured right. You get the idea—you might not be as secure as you think you are and need to be. And the risks are huge.
For GMO Cloud, security starts with protecting the integrity of your data and guarding against service interruptions. But being truly secure means far more than safeguarding data and preventing interruptions. There are the resulting financial losses, your brand's equity and reputation, business continuity and potential litigation or fines to consider. And, when it's all said and done, paying a little more for expert security means customers will continue to have confidence in your business. That, in itself, makes it worthwhile investing in GMO Cloud's Security Services.
