"It used to be very simple to manage an organization's cybersecurity issues when everything was onsite at the company's datacenter. However, in today's environment, IT assets are spread across a variety of locations. These include the on-premise datacenter, a third-party hosted site, and in the cloud. While this helps ensure the security of the data through replication, it also presents challenges when transmitting data. Measures such as data encryption, replication, and tracerouting all help to ensure the data is secure and safe. Other techniques include strong user authentication and specific security measures built into the contracts with the third-party providers."
