The adoption of cloud services has already increased alongside the demand for secure transfer and storage of protectively marked data. However, there are a number of security concerns associated with transferring and storing sensitive data in the cloud. These include the number of people that have access to the data (and the associated backups) as well as how you ensure that the data has not been tampered with. Most cloud storage service providers can encrypt the data that sits on their servers, however, the majority of cloud storage providers also hold the decryption keys. This means that they are potentially able to decrypt files hosted in the cloud and access highly confidential data without seeking permission from, or even notifying, the data owner.
