Techopedia explains Cloud Data Protection

Cloud data protection provides and ensures various services and processes, such as:

  • Integrity: Data is in the same form as its stored version. Data encryption measures are implemented to secure data from illegal editing and corruption.
  • Storage management: The cloud infrastructure must provide a secure and continuously available interface for data access as required. Moreover, logs of each data access, edit and copying event are maintained.
  • Infrastructure security: These are the collective processes, policies and measures that ensure cloud/storage infrastructure security.

An example of cloud data protection is Data Protection as a Service (DPaaS), which provides managed data protection services for stored cloud data.
