In a world of increasing cyber threats, businesses cannot afford to overlook IT security. But what does it mean for companies to have their business data and systems hosted in the cloud, and what security advantages and challenges come with this shift?
PrintVis SaaS: A Combined Product on Azure
When you use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in Azure, much of the security-related work is outsourced to Microsoft, which invests vast sums in security infrastructure and research. For your business, this means you can focus on your core operations instead of worrying about complex IT security tasks. PrintVis is built on Business Central which runs on Microsoft Azure. Azure is one of the world’s leading cloud platforms and serves as the foundation for many of Microsoft’s cloud-based services.
With a cloud-based solution, your business is always up to date. Microsoft automatically rolls out security patches and software updates, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities that often occur when systems are not properly maintained.
Key Advantages of Hosting on Azure
Disaster Recovery and Backup: One of the biggest benefits of being on the Azure platform is access to robust disaster recovery capabilities. Microsoft safeguards data against physical loss and cyberattacks through geo-redundant storage and regular backup processes.
Secure Access Anytime, Anywhere: A cloud-based solution ensures that your employees can securely access the system from anywhere. Azure’s Zero Trust security model verifies all access attempts, whether users are logging in from the office or remotely.
Precautions and Challenges
Microsoft Azure offers customers significant security advantages, including advanced security technologies, global compliance, automatic updates, and disaster recovery. While Microsoft provides a solid security foundation, businesses must remain proactive in their own IT security strategies to maximize protection.
Human error is often a major security risk. Therefore, you should ensure that your employees are well-informed about phishing attacks and proper access management. Additionally, companies should regularly review their security policies to ensure they meet the organization’s needs.
By hosting your business software in the cloud with Microsoft Azure, you gain access to advanced security features and reduce the burden of managing IT risks internally, enabling you to focus on growing your business.
