Google Docs seems too good to be true, and it is. Cloud-based storage compromises the security of Google Docs in ways that no school board can afford. A study by Netskope found that roughly 15% of business Cloud users have been hacked. Expert warnings make it abundantly clear: Google Docs is insufficiently secure for organizations such as school boards that deal with sensitive information.
Staying off the cloud altogether is the best bet for protecting the sensitive information that school boards deal with all the time. That is the inescapable conclusion of a recent survey of industry experts by Cloud Security Alliance. The report identifies a veritable Pandora's box of dangers awaiting the trusting souls who turn to cloud-based storage solutions. In order of the severity of the risk, those dangers are:
-
Data Breaches

Insufficient Identity, Credential and Access Management

Insecure Interfaces and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)
