What does cloud-based security mean?

Cloud security removes the need for physical, on premises servers to store data, such as CCTV footage. Instead, this footage can be saved in the cloud, giving you access when they need it the most, meaning storage durations are guaranteed, unlike on site NVR’s

We use cloud services every single day when using streaming services or even our mobile phones to save data, and integrating cloud-based security into your organisation can save you money and make your systems more convenient and secure.

There are a variety of different cloud environments often broken down into public, private, and hybrid clouds. You can read more about what is cloud security on the blog.

SES Technologies cloud-based security systems

Investing in cloud-based solutions has become a priority for businesses around the world. Statista’s Cyber security investment priorities for companies worldwide 2022 reports that 45% of companies have started or plan to implement cloud security in the future, with a further 35% of businesses implementing it at scale. What might this look like for your business?

Cloud-based video management

Storing CCTV footage on-site is not only costly, but it also limits access. Often, you’ll have to be on the same site to access the footage, which presents a significant challenge for businesses with multiple locations.

Cloud-based CCTV uses the cloud to store videos and images, keeping data secure without limiting access. Split-site businesses or single-unit organisations can gain access to the videos when they need them, saving on the cost of storage and ensuring maintenance costs are reduced.

Cloud-based access control systems

Controlling access is a significant challenge for businesses. You want to keep your site secure and limit access only to those authorised. With cloud-based access control, you can easily add new users or restrict access as required with just a few taps.

At SES Technologies, our access control systems are designed to be user-friendly and difficult to intercept. Your security team will have an easier time monitoring your site and enabling access to those needing it. Take control of your access solutions with cloud security.

What are the cloud-based security advantages?

Cost-effective storage solutions

On-site storage for CCTV systems and access control management solutions can be one of the biggest challenges for businesses. It takes up valuable space and is costly to maintain.

Cloud-storage solutions are more cost-effective than on-premise data centres. On-site centres require greater staffing resources to maintain, as you’ll need to hire or train staff to support them. Taking the storage to the cloud saves you from reallocating these resources, so your team can be focused on other areas.

Improve scalability

Another problem businesses face with on-site storage is scalability. Data centres can only store so much, so when your business grows, you need to add to the data centre. This can be expensive and challenging, especially with limited space available.

One of the benefits of cloud-based security solutions is that it can easily scale to suit your business. Opening an additional site? You can add the CCTV footage to your new cloud storage, enabling you to access the footage from anywhere without difficulty.

Secure cloud storage and regulatory compliance

When it comes to security, cloud storage solutions have a number of security features to keep your business safe. Cloud systems can become a focus for hackers, as poorly-secured cloud data servers can give them access to vital information.

Here at SES Technologies, we offer cloud-based video management systems from Eagle Eye Networks.

As ISO 9001:2015 certified by BSI under certificate number FS 639162, SES Technologies can give you the security solutions you need.

Efficient threat management

Keeping access control and CCTV on-site can cause problems when there is a threat. Your team may respond to a perceived threat and find that there is no threat at all, or they may not have the information they need to respond accordingly.

Cloud security makes it easier to access the information that you need and manage threats. At SES Technologies, we conduct regular audits and continually implement system improvements to help you mitigate risks and prevent attacks on your system.

Utilising cloud-based security gives you complete ease of access and control when you need it the most. Easy to install and maintain, you’ll get a seamless experience and save on the costs of storing data on-site. At SES Technologies, we know how important it is for your business to have the data security it needs, and we offer bespoke customer services each time.
