Series of events to support businesses "in the cloud"

In the era of digital transformation, the application of Cloud technology has become one of the inevitable trends for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Not only does it help optimize costs, Cloud also brings flexibility and scalability, quickly responding to changing market needs. However, along with those benefits, businesses also face major challenges related to maintenance costs, security and efficiency optimization.

The webinar series organized by CMC Telecom, with the first session on October 24, 2024 - the topic "Cloud solutions for Vietnamese enterprises: Opportunities, challenges & solutions", will be a valuable opportunity for SMEs to better understand Cloud solutions, as well as grasp practical experiences from leading experts.

The first webinar was organized by CMC Telecom on October 24, 2024 on an online platform, attracting nearly 200 attendees.

The event will focus on addressing the challenges that many businesses are facing when moving to the cloud. One of the top challenges SMEs are concerned about is cost and information security against attack surfaces. While the cloud helps reduce initial investment costs, if not managed effectively, maintenance costs, especially when over-utilized, can be overwhelming. In particular, data security and privacy are concerns that cannot be ignored. With a large amount of sensitive customer information stored in the cloud, SMEs must ensure compliance with strict security regulations.

Solutions for security and cloud services

In the first session, CMC Telecom's team of experienced experts analyzed risks such as Data Breach, Compliance Violation and Attack Surface. To address the issue of data leakage, CMC Telecom provides comprehensive data security solutions, including information encryption and access management (IAM) to minimize the risk of intrusion from both human factors and cyber attacks. In addition, Network Segmentation will also be introduced as an effective measure to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive areas.

In addition, for businesses concerned about compliance violations, CMC Telecom proposes the solution of deploying the "Effective Compliance" system during the migration to the Cloud. This is a combination of technical measures and management processes, helping to ensure that businesses fully comply with security and legal regulations.

Mr. Nguyen Quang Thinh - CMC Cloud Consultant, CMC Telecom shared: "In the process of deploying Cloud for SMB businesses, the biggest challenge they encountered was resource management and cost control of Cloud usage. Initially, the lack of a clear process led to excessive resource usage, increasing operating costs. In addition, security risks were also a major concern, especially access control and ensuring that sensitive data was not leaked."

Insecure API is also a challenge that many SMEs face. To solve this problem, CMC Telecom introduces the WAAP (Web Application and API Protection) solution, which helps to comprehensively protect web applications and APIs from potential attacks. WAAP not only ensures the safety of applications but also helps detect and prevent attacks before they have a chance to cause damage.

The lack of IT management skills can be a barrier for many SMEs. Therefore, throughout the Cloud deployment process, businesses will receive comprehensive support from CMC Telecom's team of experts. They will work with businesses to build security processes, evaluate and optimize Cloud resources in the most effective way. From there, SMEs can not only rest assured about data security but also focus on business development without worrying about technical complications.

When businesses move to the cloud, the points of attack often increase significantly due to the connection to many services, resources, and the cloud environment is often more complex than on-premise. Businesses need to carefully assess the points of attack through security services such as security auditing, vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, etc. to fully assess the attack surfaces, as well as have solutions to ensure information security when moving to the cloud.

Mr. Nguyen Hoang Phuc - Security solution consultant at CMC Telecom shared: "In the current digital transformation process, information security is not only an option, but also a prerequisite for SMEs to develop sustainably. CMC Telecom provides comprehensive security solutions, helping SMEs feel secure when using Cloud services, while protecting data and systems from cyber threats."

“CMC Telecom always aims to become a trusted partner to support SMEs in successful digital transformation,” shared a CMC Telecom representative.
