The 21st Century is definitely a technology age. Business organizations, personal computers owners, corporations and even government institutions adapt new technological dimensions, software and computing systems just to stay current in the market. Subsequently, these new technological developments has with it pros and cons that any organization should understand before venturing into the technology arena. For instance, cloud hosting is a computing concept where providers deliver applications via the internet usually accessed from a web browser, while the operating software and data are stored on servers, and hosted using a system called cloud servers hosting. The haunting task however is the associated risks and strategies to deal with the system. It is good to note that the cloud host gives extra advantages like unlimited bandwidth and greater capacities of storage. These however come with security threats and malicious attacks. Such attacks include accessing of data, execution and initiating of wicked commands or the hacking of passwords. This is why one needs to have a strategy to protect their server. One of the best options is having an online security system. There is for example the panda antivirus, which transfers files to their servers' server to evaluate them before execution. Buy doing this one does not need to worry about his or her computers ability to access data or connection speed since the program is undertaken by Panda laboratory servers and is done through the internet. Moreover, this ill not only protect your files and information contained in them but will also make them immune against viruses. Also, Information center security offers greater benefits in protecting your data. In this model, data needs to be encrypted and decrypted with a usage policy. This system uses Trusted Computing technology when data is being accessed. This data security is a natural security extension that ensures a more reliable data protection. A different approach to security is through Privacy-enhanced Data intelligence. This approach requires encryption of all data in the entire system. However, this approach limits data search. Privacy-enhanced Data intelligence is another method used in protecting cloud servers from attacks. Normally this approach limits searching of data but first one has to encrypt all the data accounts. Moreover, through advanced software devices used in computing, the cloud is capable of encoding the search query and then uses the technology to select the files that match without giving any unwanted information. With these features, many data handlers rely upon this system as it proves to be more secure. Though preventing classified or very important information from getting lost may be the primary issue when choosing the best cloud servers, the following should also be considered applicability of the system, if it is efficient and the expenses of installing and maintaining such program. Eventually, these measures help eradicate all security worries that may arise in major operations that most business entities nowadays engage in.
