Introduction
The cloud is no longer a luxury, it's a necessity. Large enterprises, SMEs and even individual entrepreneurs rely on cloud services to store files, manage customers and run day-to-day processes. But with that convenience comes a key question: is your data really secure?
In 2025, cyber attacks are more sophisticated than ever: phishing with artificial intelligence, targeted ransomware and unauthorized access seeking to exploit the slightest weakness. The good news is that you can take control with simple but effective practices.
In this article, you will learn the cloud security best practices and how to apply them in your business to protect the most valuable thing: your information. And in the end, you will see how in ClickPanda we can be your ally in this process.

1. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is no longer optional.
For years, passwords were the main digital lock. Today, they are no longer sufficient. With the ease of password theft through social engineering or automated attacks, MFA (multi-factor authentication) is the standard.
How does it work? Combine something you know (password) with something you have (code on your cell phone) or something you are (fingerprint, facial recognition).
Practical example: If someone gets your corporate email password, without MFA they could get in in seconds. With MFA, they would also need your phone or fingerprint, which makes the attempt fail.
At ClickPanda, we recommend activating MFA on all access to control panels, hosting and emails.
2. Encryption: the invisible shielding of your data
The end-to-end encryption ensures that your information can only be read by authorized parties.
In transit: when your data travels from your computer to the server.
At rest: when they are stored in the cloud.
Didactic example: Think of encryption as a secret language that only you and your recipient know. Even if someone intercepts the "conversation", they won't be able to understand anything.
Recommendation: Work with providers that use SSL/TLS security protocols and give you control over encryption keys.
3. Smart backups: your plan B (and C)
No matter how secure you are, there is always the risk of attack or human error. That's why the automatic backups are a lifesaver.
Make backups in multiple locations (ideally in different data centers).
Establishes a daily frequency or even in real time, depending on the criticality of your data.
Regularly verify that backups can be restored.
Protecting your data in the cloud is vital, especially against threats such as ransomware. Learn how it originated and evolved in our article Ransomware as a Serviceand be prepared with ClickPanda's solutions.
4. Real-time monitoring: detect before it's too late
Prevention is key. Cybercriminals are relentless, but companies that have security systems in place should be able to prevent cybercrime. monitoring and detection of threats have the advantage.
What can be detected?
Access attempts from foreign countries.
Massive file downloads.
Out-of-hours connections.
This type of early warning allows you to block access before a data leak occurs.
5. Empower your team: the human link is the weakest link
The best infrastructure can fail if your computer is not prepared. One click on a malicious link can open the door to the cybercriminal.
Conducts periodic training in cybersecurity.
Teach your employees to identify suspicious emails.
Encourage a culture of not sharing passwords or using insecure devices.
At ClickPanda we understand that security does not depend only on technology, that is why we accompany you with advice and best practices for your team.
6. Choose a reliable cloud provider
Not all cloud solutions are the same. Choosing a reliable provider is the first step in ensuring your security. Look for it to comply with:
Recognized safety certifications.
Clear data protection policies.
Technical support available when you need it.
With ClickPanda, in addition to secure and optimized servers, you have a human team behindready to help you protect your business.
7. Compliance and regulations
In 2025 it is not enough to protect, it is also necessary to comply with the law. Depending on your industry and location, you may have to comply with regulations such as:
GDPR (data protection in Europe).
CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act).
Habeas Data Law in Latin America.
A reliable cloud provider must guarantee that its services comply with these regulations, helping you avoid penalties and strengthening your customers' trust.
8. Zero Trust: zero trust as a philosophy
The model of Zero Trust (zero confidence) is trending in 2025:
Do not automatically trust any user or device.
Constantly validates and verifies each access.
Minimize privileges: each user should only have access to what he/she needs.
This reduces the likelihood that an attacker, even if successful in gaining entry, will be able to move inside your system.
9. Security as an added value for your brand
Cloud security is not only an invisible protection, it is also a brand differential.
Your customers trust you more when they know you take care of their data.
You can highlight it in your value proposition as a guarantee of seriousness and professionalism.
Strengthen the reputation of your business against the competition.
