Data can be likened to valuable assets stored within a house. However, for this house to be robust and inaccessible to unauthorized individuals, it needs to be equipped with a protective layer incorporating the most modern and advanced technology. With the objective of thwarting hackers from prying into businesses’ data treasures, HI GIO has introduced a data security solution on a comprehensive cloud platform. Let’s explore the benefits of this form of cloud security with HI GIO Cloud.
On December 22, 2022, the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam organized a conference for propaganda and dissemination regarding the implementation of Decree No. 53/2022/ND-CP (Decree 53). This decree establishes specific rules and measures for handling and protecting personal data, as well as regulating the responsibilities of organizations and individuals in safeguarding others’ personal information. It is evident that data security constitutes an essential step in the digital transformation efforts, enabling businesses in Vietnam to migrate their data to the cloud.
1.What is cloud security?
Cloud security encompasses a range of network security measures employed to safeguard applications and data. This security framework involves the implementation of security policies, practices, and measures. It also involves controlling and applying identity and access management technologies, as well as utilizing data loss prevention tools to protect intellectual property, data, applications, virtualization services, and the associated computing infrastructure in the cloud.
In the past, businesses often opted to store data on local servers and manage data security internally. However, not every business has the financial resources or personnel with expertise to effectively detect and respond to unauthorized access, online attacks, and internal threats.
With the advancement of digital technology, cloud computing has emerged as a more convenient and efficient solution for handling workloads. Reputable cloud service providers adhere to regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), ensuring transparent data collection and guarding against data theft or misuse. Consequently, businesses can have confidence in the security of their data in the cloud, and cloud security solutions offer numerous advantages for users.
2.05 Benefits of Cloud Security
Centralized security
Cloud security empowers businesses to enhance the protection of their cloud-based networks. It centralizes applications and data across multiple devices and system endpoints. This solution also offers tools, technologies, and processes to improve traffic analysis and streamline the centralized monitoring of policies and managed software updates, all from a single location. In addition to centralized data management, cloud security facilitates the deployment and execution of disaster recovery plans.
Reduction in specialized hardware costs
Implementing a cloud security solution helps businesses eliminate the need for investments in specialized hardware. As a result, companies can avoid expenditures related to upgrading and securing valuable resources. Cloud service providers offer advanced security features that enable 24/7 automatic protection with minimal human intervention.
Reduced level of administration
With a modern technology system and a team of technical experts from a reputable cloud service provider, businesses do not need to concern themselves with the expenses associated with hiring highly specialized personnel to manage their own security systems.
Multifaceted Security Layers
Businesses should opt for trusted cloud service providers capable of delivering robust access control solutions, encrypting data both at rest and in transit, eliminating third-party involvement, and implementing strict access restrictions and advanced authentication protocols to safeguard cloud data, regardless of its location or management.
Advanced threat detection
Reputable cloud service providers invest in cutting-edge technologies and employ experienced experts to provide real-time global threat intelligence. This enables businesses to promptly detect both existing and potential future threats for faster resolution.

Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Securing data with firewalls helps businesses prevent attacks that exploit web application vulnerabilities. This solution is essential for securing private and confidential information on business websites while maintaining communication channels between businesses and customers.
Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)
HI GIO Cloud primarily employs a next-generation firewall solution to protect the cloud space from unknown cyber threats. Next generation firewalls provide a broader layer of security suitable for most businesses. This solution includes upgraded features such as Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDS/IPS) that integrate directly with NGFW to detect and block threats. It offers multiple layers of protection by inspecting traffic from Layer 2 to Layer 7, securing data at the application level and user identities.
The Zero Trust Security Model for Absolute Safety
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is the latest architectural concept replacing traditional remote VPN access to protect users’ cloud environments. The Zero Trust security solution integrated with the HI GIO Gen.2 platform enhances access restrictions by continuously authenticating and authorizing users before granting access to applications and data. Verification is encrypted end-to-end and uses analytics to monitor and detect threats, thereby enhancing cloud security.
4.Conclusion
Data is a valuable asset for any organization. Therefore, choosing cloud storage and security service providers with advanced infrastructure and high technology that meet international security standards is extremely important for businesses. With these characteristics, HI GIO CLOUD powered by FPT & IIJ can fully meet customers’ requirements for information security.
