"Trust but verify, especially when it comes to your data." When working with vendors during a cloud migration, safeguarding data requires proactive measures. Here’s my approach: 🔍 Conduct due diligence: Review the vendor's security certifications (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2) and history of compliance. Ensure their practices align with your standards. 📜 Establish clear contracts: Define roles, responsibilities, and penalties for mishandling data in your Service Level Agreements (SLAs). 💾 Regularly back up data: Use secure, independent backups to ensure recovery in case of vendor mishaps. #cloudmigration #datasecurity #cloudcomputing

To protect data with third-party vendors, I adopt a multi-layered strategy: 1. Vendor Risk Assessment: Leverage AI tools for real-time security audits, assessing the vendor’s compliance and identifying vulnerabilities. 2. Granular Contracts: Specify data encryption, breach response times, and liability clauses in legally binding agreements. 3. Data Fragmentation: Split sensitive data across multiple storage regions to minimize exposure during migration. 4. Immutable Backups: Use write-once-read-many (WORM) technology to ensure backups remain tamper-proof. 5. Proactive Monitoring: Implement continuous data transfer logs with anomaly detection to halt suspicious activities immediately.
