During the implementation of a hosted cloud environment, our IT team emphasizes that the most insecure component of a cloud infrastructure is the data transmission process. How do you recommend customers secure data while transferring it to the cloud?

"You are correct in your statement that data is at most risk while being transferred to and from the cloud. This is why measures must be taken to ensure that there is no leakage in the transmission. The best ways to accomplish this is to use strong encryption keys when transmitting data and to perform periodic audits to ensure the data in is the same as the data out. I learned how to work with clients to help them manage this during my preparation for my Certification of Cloud Security Knowledge exam preparation."
